How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in White Sands Missile Range

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The team separates salvageable hard materials from porous items that hold contamination.

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

• 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.
