-
Remove the overflow

-
Measure hidden moisture

Dry and verify

- Keep children and pets away from the basement water.
- Avoid switches, outlets and appliances near the wet floor.
- Stop using fixtures that make the drain overflow.
- Call a plumber to clear the drain blockage.
- Photograph the water and affected belongings from a dry, safe position.
