How Flooded House After Heavy Rain Cleanup Works in Clarksville

1. Assess hazards and water depth

• Avoid touching outlets or cords near wet floors.
• Keep children and pets away from muddy water.
• Photograph the entry path and affected rooms from a safe place.
• Call 24/7 with the approximate number of wet rooms.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
