What to do in the first 24 hours
Turn off electricity to affected areas. Avoid contact with water if electrical hazard exists.
If possible and safe, shut off the main water valve or stop the source of water.
Call 911 if there is structural damage, electrical hazard, or anyone is injured.
Contact a restoration contractor immediately. Time is critical - every hour counts.
Take photos and videos of all damage for insurance purposes.
Use pumps and wet vacuums to remove standing water as quickly as possible.
Open windows and doors, use fans to increase ventilation and drying.
Move furniture, rugs, and personal items to dry areas.
File a claim with your insurance company and provide documentation.
