Visit and Inspection — What Happens

Once the visit is done, the findings are talked through with you, and no particular method is promised for any home in Cranbury — the method is confirmed on the call.
How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in Cranbury
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 Cranbury.
- 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.

Questions About Basement Water Damage Cleanup in Cranbury

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