How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Catlettsburg

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
