How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Wendover

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The team separates salvageable hard materials from porous items that hold contamination.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
