How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in Breton Woods
Preparing ahead makes the visit quicker and more thorough. What is needed depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and the steps below fit most homes in Breton Woods.
- Clear the way to the basement — move furniture, rugs, boxes and stored items away from wet floors and damp walls where you can do so safely — so the visit can start without moving things first.
- Take valuables, electronics and soft furnishings off wet floors and out of the damp basement where you can do so safely, and take photographs of the damage before anything is moved.
- Sewage water is not something to clean up yourself; keep out of the room and leave it for the visit. Keep children and pets out of the affected room.
- If the problem is in a rental home, let the landlord or property manager know as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
Never step into a flooded basement, and never touch electrics in or near standing water.

Which rooms are checked first after basement flooding in Breton Woods?
The first rooms checked in Breton Woods are the ones where water is used daily, then the rooms below and beside them, then the lower level. In Breton Woods, a basement can take water from a room above it, so the check spreads outward from where the water first appeared.
