A sign points at a problem; it does not name the cause, so the visit traces the water back to its source before any work is planned.

- 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.

- 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.
