What to do first in Madison Heights
Start with the basement in Madison Heights, where 86% of homes were built before 1980. If water is near the furnace, the water heater or outlets, stay on the stairs. Shut off power at the main breaker from a dry spot before you go down.
Next, close the main water valve, usually near where the line enters the basement. If a floor drain is backing up, the valve will not stop it, so keep away from that water. Take photos of the source, the water line and each damaged item. Carry boxes, tools and electronics upstairs. Basement water removal and sewage cleanup, if the drain backed up, can be booked by phone 24/7.
