How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Allenwood

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Allenwood property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

• 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.
