How Floor Drain Backup Cleanup Works in Ocracoke

1. Remove the overflow

   Standing drain water is removed with suitable extraction equipment. The crew protects unaffected contents while defining the wet boundary.

   The crew adjusts drying equipment as moisture readings change. A final record shows the condition of affected walls and floors.
