First 30 minutes
Do these before the damage spreads, if safe.
- Stop the source only if safe. Shut off the water supply if you can do so safely, avoid standing water near electricity, and leave sewage-contaminated areas alone.
- Document everything. Take photos and videos before moving damaged items, especially if insurance may be involved.
- Start drying quickly. Water left in walls, flooring, and baseboards can create mold risk and hidden structural damage.
