Separate flood access from the sewer investigation
Follow Savannah's flood and traffic information before traveling to a sewage-affected property. Once observations can be made safely, tell the provider whether water came through fixtures, an outside opening or both. Next confirm the address's serving utility for a public report; that report does not decide who pays for interior cleanup.
