What to do first in Tucker
In Tucker, 50% of homes were built before 1980, so the shutoff is often in a basement or crawlspace where the line enters, and it may be stiff. Turn it clockwise firmly, or close the valve at the fixture. Next, switch off breakers for wet rooms and the basement. Take photos of the water and every damaged item. Carry boxes off a basement floor and roll up rugs. If water came up through a floor drain, it may be sewage, so keep away and leave it for sewage cleanup. Clean water on carpet is different, and wet carpet drying can often save it if the crew gets to it quickly. Day or night, the call goes through 24/7.
