How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Somerset Center

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew records moisture in remaining wall framing. An untreated wet surface can support mold growth within a 24 to 48 hour period.

• Avoid using the backed-up drain or sending more water into it.
• Stay out of standing water near outlets or utility equipment.
• Keep children and pets away from contaminated runoff.
• Photograph the water path from a dry and safe position.
• Call 24/7 and report whether the drain is still overflowing.
