What To Do Immediately
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance documentation
- Keep receipts for any temporary repairs or emergency supplies you purchase
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
- Open windows or run fans if it is safe, to begin air circulation
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 assume carpet padding can be saved once it has been soaked for more than a few hours
- Do not enter rooms with sagging ceilings or visible structural damage
