Re-Entry Safety Advisory

Before You Return to a Flooded Property

Has your property been evacuated or marked unsafe? Wait until civil authorities officially allow entry. Receding water does not automatically mean a building is safe to enter.

Immediate Danger: Leave the area immediately and call 911 if you encounter active sparking, structural instability, or immediate hazards.
Property Access & Electrical Inspection Protocol
⚠️ Flood-Exposed Systems: Our electricians recommend having all flood-exposed wiring, service panels, and outlets evaluated before any circuits are energized or used again.
✓ Requesting Service: Once official entry access is permitted, call with your address and a description of what areas were affected by water.
✓ Future Preparation: For future weather events, a safety inspection can identify existing electrical concerns while the property is completely dry and safe.
We hope you and your loved ones are somewhere safe.
