How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Mullica Hill

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

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 technician records drying conditions and provides the owner with a factual job file.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The assessor checks subfloor layers before new flooring covers them. Mold may start forming after about one to two days of dampness.

• 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.
