For a toilet overflow, the source must be controlled first. A water damage technician then checks contamination and removes water from affected rooms.

How Flood Water Removal and Structural Drying Works in Mc Grath

• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
