Signs to Check in Burleson Basements

Water on the basement floor, a damp patch or stain on a basement wall, carpet that stays wet, flooring that warps, a musty smell that does not go away, or white powdery marks on a basement wall are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting — and never enter a flooded basement to check: floodwater can hide submerged outlets and electrical panels.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A damp patch can come from seepage through a wall or floor joint as well as from a leak above, and a musty smell can come from damp materials as well as from water that is still coming in. The visit looks for the cause — where the water came from, and how far it has spread into the walls, floors and ceilings — and the work is planned from what is found, because work done without finding where the water came from is work that comes back.

- 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.
- If water is still coming in from a fixture you can reach safely from a dry place, shut off the water at the main shut-off valve for the home, and mop up standing water so floors are not left wet. Never wade into standing water to reach a shut-off valve.
- Move valuables, electronics and soft furnishings off wet floors and out of damp rooms where you can do so safely, and take photographs of the damage before anything is moved. Do not enter a flooded basement to do this.
- Do not step in standing water near electrical outlets or appliances, and do not switch on wet electrical items. If the water is near the electrical panel, leave the area and call for help.
- If the water smells of sewage or looks dark, do not enter the basement and do not try to clean it yourself — sewage is Category 3 black water and needs professional handling.
- If the problem is in 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.
