Signs to Check in Medical District Basements

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.

- 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.
