What Gray Water Flood Cleanup Includes in Annapolis

Water from a washer, sink or appliance drain can carry soil and microbes into occupied rooms. Water can move into porous flooring, wall bases, cabinets and contents. Jobs involving washing machine gray water, sink gray water cleanup and water damage around the affected room need a check beyond the visible puddle.
A roof opening belongs to a roofer. Interior water that crossed ceilings and walls calls for extraction and measured drying. Stained insulation can remain damp after the ceiling dries.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.
- Keep people and pets out of gray water because it is not clean supply water.
- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
