How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Port Jefferson

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

4. Dry and verify the structure

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