How Gutter and Downspout Overflow Water Cleanup Works in Willow

1. Remove standing water

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Dirty water on porous materials changes the work: contaminated pieces usually come out.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.
