How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Fountain

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.
