Turn Off Your Electricity

In the event of water damage, it is crucial to turn off your electricity to prevent electrical hazards. Here’s how to do it safely:

  1. Locate your electrical panel: It is typically found in the basement, garage, or utility room.
  2. Turn off the main breaker: Flip the main breaker switch to the “Off” position. This will cut power to your entire home.
  3. Turn off individual circuit breakers: If you know which circuits are affected by the water damage, turn off the corresponding circuit breakers.
  4. Call a licensed electrician: Once the electricity is turned off, it is important to contact a licensed electrician to assess the damage and make any necessary repairs.
