- Do not enter standing water in the South Baton Rouge home in East Baton Rouge Parish, and do not handle electrics in or near it — if water is near electrics, stay out and say so on the call. Sewage is Category 3 black water: avoid all contact with it and do not try to clean it up yourself.
- Note which rooms in the South Baton Rouge property in East Baton Rouge Parish hold standing water, when you first noticed it, and whether a burst pipe, a leak or flooding came before it. A short note of rooms and times helps the visit to the South Baton Rouge home start in the right place.
- Move dry belongings, rugs and furniture out of the affected rooms in the South Baton Rouge home in East Baton Rouge Parish where you can do so safely, so the affected areas are clear for the visit.
- Do not mop or pump out a large area of standing water in a South Baton Rouge home in East Baton Rouge Parish before the visit, and do not use a household vacuum on standing water — leave the extraction to the visit.
