What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Avoid entering a room with energized wet outlets.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
- Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the window well water.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bath was built in the 2000s. Newer homes often use PEX or CPVC supply lines. Fittings and crimp connections can still fail. A concealed cavity can hold water after shutoff.
