What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the water damage started, for your insurance claim
- Call a restoration professional as soon as possible
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Open windows or run fans if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Remove or elevate valuable items and furniture where possible
What Not To Do
- Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water
- Do not use electrical appliances in or near standing water
- Do not attempt to dry out large areas with household fans alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
- Do not walk through standing water if you suspect it may be electrically charged

Restoration professionals in our network generally offer 24/7 emergency response, since water damage doesn't wait for business hours. Availability can vary by provider and current call volume.
Can water damage lead to mold in Fernley properties?
Yes — mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours after a water event, particularly in humid conditions. Thorough extraction and structural drying, not just surface cleanup, is the most effective way to prevent mold growth after water damage.
