What Toilet Leaking Into Basement Cleanup Includes in Scurry

- Keep clear of wet electrical panels, outlets, and plugged-in equipment.
- Avoid walking under a sagging finished basement ceiling.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Tell the crew where the basement drip first appeared.
