What Gray Water Cleanup Includes in Montegut

A used-water drain or washer discharge that spreads indoors can soak floor finishes, porous furniture, trim and low wallboard. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph floor finishes before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
