How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Hotchkiss

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

• 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.
