Signs to Check in Broadmoor Homes

How to Prepare for a Basement Water Damage Cleanup Visit in Broadmoor
Preparation makes the visit to a Broadmoor home quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the water and the rooms involved in the Broadmoor property, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Broadmoor, Terrebonne Parish.
- Do not enter a flooded basement in the Broadmoor home in Terrebonne Parish, and do not handle electrics in or near standing water — if water is near electrics, stay out and say so on the call. If water is still coming in, turn off the shut-off valve for that fixture where you can reach it safely from dry ground.
