What Gray Water Flood Cleanup Includes in Simms
After gray water flood cleanup, the crew removes materials that cannot dry safely. Repairs to finishes are quoted after the structure is dry. A final moisture check comes before new finishes are installed.
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.

- 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.
