What To Do Immediately
- Remove or elevate valuable items and furniture where possible
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Move rugs and loose textiles off wet flooring to prevent further saturation
- Call a restoration professional as soon as possible
What Not To Do
- Do not use electrical appliances in or near standing water

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while waiting for a restoration crew to arrive?
If it's safe, shut off the water source, avoid electrical hazards, and move valuables away from the affected area. Avoid using household equipment not designed for water removal, and don't delay — the longer water sits, the greater the risk of structural damage and mold growth.
Is emergency water damage service available at night or on weekends in Gloucester?
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.
What's the difference between water damage restoration and mold remediation in Gloucester?
