But what if you’ve been away, or there’s been a storm, and you arrive home to a flooded basement where water may have been in contact with or damaged your electrical system? Enter your basement with caution and if you can see from a safe distance that the water level is above the electrical outlets, covers, power cords, baseboard heaters or furnace, or near your electrical panel — DO NOT ENTER the basement.
Also, when surveying outside your home, be cautious and do not go near any flooded outdoor appliances such as hot tubs and air conditioners. There could also be downed power lines in your area. If you see this, stay at least 10 meters , back and call 9-1-1. After any flooding, and once it’s safe to restore power, you must always hire a licensed electrical contractor to check your home’s electrical system and repair or replace any damages to ensure it is safe.Article content
