Visit and Inspection — What Happens
The visit in Delaware starts at the basement — floor, walls, sump pump, drains, appliances — and works outwards to see how far the water has travelled. Those findings decide the work: what is needed, and which rooms it touches. After the visit, the plan is talked through with you, and the method is confirmed on the call; no particular method is promised for any home in Delaware.
How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in Delaware
A little preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and the steps below apply to most homes in Delaware.
- Keep a note of when it started, what you have seen, and whether it is getting worse — dates and signs help the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, shut off the water main only if you can reach it without stepping in water. Never walk through standing water to reach a shut-off or a switch, and keep away from electrics in or near standing water.
- Leave sewage water alone — cleanup of sewage is a job for the visit, not for the homeowner. Keep children and pets out of the affected room.
- For a rental, tell the landlord or property manager as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
Stay out of a flooded basement, and keep clear of standing water near electrical outlets or appliances.

Questions About Basement Water Damage Cleanup in Delaware
What should I check first if I find water in a basement in Delaware?
In Delaware, a finished basement can hide water behind walls, under flooring and inside built-in storage, so a wet basement is checked from the rooms the water reached rather than from any single source. Note which rooms are wet and whether water is still coming in, and stay out of any standing water.
Which rooms are checked first after basement flooding in Delaware?
The first rooms checked in Delaware are the ones where water is used daily, then the rooms below and beside them, then the lower level. In Delaware, a basement can take water from a room above it, so the check spreads outward from where the water first appeared.
What should I do first when I find a flooded basement in Delaware?
Do not enter a flooded basement in Delaware, and do not handle electrics in standing water. Make a note of the affected rooms and whether water is still coming in, from a dry place. Shut off the water main only if it is safe to do so from a dry place. Sewage water is Category 3 black water, professional-only, so do not try to clean it up yourself.
