How Storm Drain Backup Into House Cleanup Works in Hillsboro

1. Assess hazards and water depth

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

• 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.
