Preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Honeoye Falls.
- Clear access to the rooms involved, moving furniture, rugs and belongings away from wet floors and walls where you can do so safely.
- Note when the water was first found, where it seems to be coming from, and whether it is still coming in.
- If water is coming from a pipe or a fitting, turn it off at the shut-off valve for that fixture — or the main shut-off — where you can reach it safely from a dry place, without wading in.
- Stay out of water that is near switches, outlets or appliances, and do not try to clean up sewage water yourself.
- Take photographs of the damage and a note of what happened, from a dry place, if you can do so safely.
- Keep pets and children clear of the wet areas while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.
