How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Stewartstown

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew adjusts equipment when humidity stays high or a cavity reading stops improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

• 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.
