How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Delphos

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

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

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.
