How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in New Egypt
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 New Egypt.
- 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.
