How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Eldridge

1. Assess hazards and water depth

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

• 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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
