How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in Hampton
Preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough, and the exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved — the steps below apply to most homes in Hampton.
- Clear access 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 on the day.
- Note when the problem started, what you have seen, and whether it is getting worse — a short note of dates and signs helps the visit start in the right place.
- If water is still coming in, turn off the water main where you can reach it safely from a dry place. Never wade into standing water to reach a shut-off or a switch, and do not touch electrics in or near standing water.
- Move 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.
Do not enter a flooded basement, and do not attempt to clean up sewage water yourself.
