What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A musty smell after a flood is a warning, not a diagnosis. Moisture readings show where the wet materials are, and the crew removes what cannot dry.
- Stay out of the water until the power is checked, since wet outlets, cords and the panel are a shock risk
- Do not run the furnace or water heater while the water is high
- Skip the rented pump if the water is deep, because pumping too fast can damage walls
- Move valuables up and photograph the waterline before the water drops
- Note when the water arrived and how deep it got
