After Water or Storm Damage: What to Do First
Damage from water, fire or storms spreads fast. Acting quickly limits the damage and the cost of restoration.
Immediate Steps
- Stay safe and avoid damaged areas or standing water.
- Shut off the water or power if it is safe to do so.
- Document the damage with photos for your insurance claim.
- Call a professional restoration team as soon as possible.
Why Speed Matters
Mold can begin within 24-48 hours of water exposure, and exposed structures invite further damage. Fast mitigation is critical.
