How Well Pressure Tank Burst Cleanup Works in Steep Falls

1. Extract standing water

   Water extraction starts at the lowest safe area of the utility room.

2. Map damp materials

   The assessor tests wall bases and floor layers around the equipment.

3. Open trapped layers

   An affected cabinet base may require removal to reach damp material.

4. Dry and verify

   The specialist tracks humidity and checks wet surfaces during the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Keep people out of water near pump controls or electrical equipment.
• Call a well technician to isolate and repair the failed equipment.
• Move dry valuables away from the spreading water without crossing a hazard.
• Photograph visible damage from a safe position, then call for extraction.
