How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Glen Flora

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   Before extraction, workers determine which access points remain stable and dry.

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.

• Stay upstairs if storm water reaches electrical outlets or equipment.
• Do not walk through water to reach the breaker panel.
• Watch for cracks or bowed basement walls from a safe position.
• Leave deep water pumping to a crew that can assess outside pressure.
• Call 24/7 and report the depth, entry point and nearby utilities.
