Call (888) 949-8496 when window well flooding flood water removal becomes necessary at a John Day property. Describe what released the water and how far it spread. The crew can focus the first steps on liquid removal and safety.
Runoff filling a basement window well can send water past the window frame into a lower room. Window trim, carpet, wallboard and basement insulation may stay damp beyond the visible pool. One flooded well can soak the wall cavity and floor edge even when the rest of the basement looks dry.
Sewage backing through a drain is not a clean pipe leak. The drain source needs the appropriate trade, and the restoration crew handles contaminated water and affected material removal.

- Keep clear of a submerged outlet and do not force open a window against deep water.
- Keep people away from wet outlets, ceiling fixtures, and standing water of unknown origin.
- Move dry documents and electronics away from the wet floor.
