Flood safety
When your basement floods:
* Contact an electric contractor if there are appliances that need to be unplugged in your wet basement.
* If your breakers will not reset or continue to trip, call an electrician. The problem could indicate a short-circuit in your electrical system.
* Do not run an extension cord through a flooded basement to power an extra sump pump or any other electric appliance.
