Signs to Check in Stratford Homes
A flooded basement in Stratford shows the same signs as anywhere else — water on the basement floor, a damp patch on a wall, carpet that stays wet, flooring that warps, a stain that keeps growing, or a sewage smell. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting. Signs alone are not proof of the cause: a damp patch can come from a roof leak as well as from water getting into the basement, and water in a basement can come from heavy rain as well as from a leak that is still running.

Visit and Inspection — What Happens
The visit in Stratford starts at the basement — floor, walls, sump pump, drains, appliances — and works outwards to see how far the water has travelled.

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