How Storm Water in Basement Cleanup Works in Orange Park

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The technician checks electrical exposure and safe entry before anyone pumps the Orange Park property.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

• Do not walk through water to reach the breaker panel.
• Watch for cracks or bowed basement walls from a safe position.
• Leave deep water pumping to a crew that can assess outside pressure.
• Call 24/7 and report the depth, entry point and nearby utilities.
