Prior to stepping foot in your basement that is flooded with water, switch off any power supply connected to the basement. This is important to do. In case you cannot figure out how to switch off the power, get in touch with an electrician and seek help but make sure you do it. Once the electric power is shut off, identify the source of the floodwater. Let’s say you have a flooded basement after a monsoon season, then you need to wait for the storm to pass and then enter the basement. However, if the water entered your basement through another source such as a broken pope, then you need to tackle the problem differently. But, if you fail to identify the source of the water causing the flood, then it is wise to hire a plumber for assistance. He can then guide you on who to consult further such as a water restoration company or a waterproofing expert.
