What to Do in the First Hours After Water Damage

Steps that limit damage and help your claim.

Stop the water and stay safe

Shut off the water source. If water is near outlets or the panel, keep out and turn off power only if it's safe.

Document everything

Take photos and video before moving things. Your insurer will want them.

Dry fast

Mold can start growing within a day or two. Remove wet rugs, open windows if it's dry outside, and call for professional drying.
