A plumber stops a pipe from leaking. A water removal crew deals with the water that already got out. When a basement is wet, the crew call usually comes first because the water keeps soaking in.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Wet cardboard, books and fabric are among the first things mold uses. Carrying them to a dry place slows the problem while the crew handles the water.
- Stay out of the basement, since power can return while the water is still there
- Turn off the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you can reach it standing on dry ground
- Run any generator outdoors, far from windows and doors, never in a basement or garage
- Photograph the pit, the waterline and the damage with your phone light
- Carry valuables up only if the stairs and floor are dry and safe

Homes built before 1960 often sit on stone, brick or block foundations. Mortar joints age, and water finds its way through them during heavy rain.
