How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Norcatur

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Norcatur property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

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

After pumping, trapped water can persist behind wall trim. That dampness gives mold a chance to develop in roughly 24 to 48 hours.

• 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.
