For Amherst property owners
Keep a record of basement water events
Amherst publishes sanitary sewer overflow and water-in-basement occurrence reports through its Utilities Department. If your basement takes on water, contact the city about the sewer concern and keep your own record of when it happened, where water entered and which rooms were affected.
That history helps us focus a mold assessment. Water rising through a floor drain calls for a different source investigation than a leaking supply pipe or moisture along a foundation wall. Tell us about previous cleanup, even if the basement now looks dry.
Record the entry point
Photograph the affected area from a safe, dry position and note whether water came from a drain, wall or appliance.
Keep the repair history
Save plumber findings and drying records so repeated wetting does not get treated as a new cosmetic stain.
Review covered materials
Let us know where carpet, paneling or drywall concealed the original wet area.
