What to do first in Brockton
Brockton basements take most of the water, so start there with care. If water is near the outlets or the furnace, do not wade in. Shut off the power at the main breaker from a dry spot first.
Then close the main water valve, usually in the basement where the line enters. In older homes, and 39% here were built before 1950, the valve may be stiff, so turn it slowly. Photograph the source, the water line on the walls and each damaged item. Renters, 43% of households here, should send the landlord a dated message. Carry boxes, papers and electronics upstairs. Basement water removal and sewage cleanup, if a drain backed up, can be arranged by phone 24/7.
