What to Do After Water Damage

1. Check for Immediate Hazards

Avoid standing water near electrical sources and do not enter structurally unsafe areas.

2. Stop the Source When Safe

Shut off an appropriate water supply when you can do so safely.

3. Document the Conditions

Photos and notes can help create a record of what happened before cleanup changes the scene.

4. Remove Water and Begin Drying

Standing water should be addressed, followed by evaluation and drying of affected materials.
