How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Pinehurst

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

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

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

• 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.
