Katrina's surge flooded most of the city. Downpours flood low streets. Heavy rain raises the Pascagoula River, flooding low areas.

Emergency water extraction questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Pascagoula?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Pascagoula Building department.
Do I need flood insurance in Pascagoula?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
How fast should water be extracted?
As soon as possible. Within 24–48 hours, clean water begins to support bacteria and mold, and materials like particleboard and laminate swell beyond saving.
Can wet carpet be saved?
Often, if it was clean water and extraction starts quickly. Carpet pad is usually replaced because it holds water and is inexpensive compared with the drying time it adds.
