Water damage feels like chaos. But the first hour matters more than most people realize.

If you act quickly, you can reduce structural damage, prevent mold growth, and save on repairs.

Step 1: Shut off the water

If the source is a burst pipe or appliance leak, turn off your main water supply immediately.

Step 2: Cut the power (if safe)

Water and electricity don’t mix. If water is near outlets or appliances, shut off power to that area.

Step 3: Move valuables

Get furniture, rugs, and electronics out of wet areas if you can do so safely.

Step 4: Start drying

Open windows, use fans, and remove standing water if possible. Every minute counts.

Step 5: Call a water mitigation professional

Even if things look dry, moisture hides in walls and floors. Professional drying prevents long-term damage.
