What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the water damage started, for your insurance claim
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
- Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or panels
- Move rugs and loose textiles off wet flooring to prevent further saturation
What Not To Do
- Do not attempt to dry out large areas with household fans alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing within 24–48 hours
- Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water
- Do not assume carpet padding can be saved once it has been soaked for more than a few hours
