How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Lipan

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew records moisture in remaining wall framing. An untreated wet surface can support mold growth within a 24 to 48 hour period.

• 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.
