How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Newark

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

• Do not walk through water to reach the breaker panel.
• Watch for cracks or bowed basement walls from a safe position.
