What To Do Immediately
- Call a restoration professional as soon as possible
- 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
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or panels
What Not To Do
- Do not assume carpet padding can be saved once it has been soaked for more than a few hours
- Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water
- 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
