How Well Pressure Tank Burst Cleanup Works in Mount Rainier

1. Extract standing water

   Floor-edge extraction lowers the moisture load for the following dry-out.

• 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.
