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.

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 West Amwell Township.
How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Visit in West Amwell Township
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 West Amwell Township.
- 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.
