Visit and Inspection — What Happens

After the visit, the work is talked through with you, and the method used is confirmed on the call — this page does not promise a particular method for any home in Maurer.
How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in Maurer
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 Maurer.
- 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.

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