A storm drain can back up during heavy rain and force street runoff through a low drain or opening. The water may carry grit, sewage and other contaminants across a basement floor or into adjoining rooms.

The crew clears contaminated water and sediment from the building. A rebuilding contractor later quotes replacement drywall, paint and flooring after drying.

How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Foley

1. Assess hazards and water depth

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

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.

• 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.
