How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Green Bay

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

• 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.
