Turn Off Electricity

Water Damage

If your basement is flooded, it’s important to **turn off the electricity** to your home before entering the basement. This can be done by flipping the main breaker in your electrical panel. Once the electricity is off, take these additional steps to prevent further damage:

• Do not use any electrical appliances.
• If you must enter the basement, wear rubber boots and gloves.
• Do not touch any electrical wires.
• Call a qualified electrician to inspect your home’s electrical system and make any necessary repairs.

By following these steps, you can help prevent further damage to your home and avoid electrical hazards.
