- 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.
