No. Runoff from outside is Category 3 water because it can carry sewage, soil and other contaminants. Cleanup includes appropriate material decisions and surface cleaning.

After gross contamination is removed, the crew cleans and sanitizes salvageable hard surfaces.
What if power is unsafe during storm water in basement cleanup?
An electrician or utility professional handles the hazard before restoration workers enter.
