How Flash Flood House Cleanup Works in Hoffman Estates

- Stay out of standing water near outlets, wiring or appliances.
- Follow local reentry instructions if the neighborhood has flooded.
- Photograph the visible water line and affected belongings from a safe place.
- Keep children and pets away from wet rooms and contaminated items.

Should anyone enter right after the flash flood?
Stay out until local authorities permit reentry and electrical hazards have been assessed. Floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals. Call 24/7 after the building is safe to approach.
