Immediate Steps to Take When Water Damage Occurs:

   • If it’s safe to do so, turn off the water source to prevent further flooding.
   • Avoid electrical hazards by turning off the power in affected areas.
   • Keep children and pets away from the affected area.

2. Remove Excess Water:

   • Use mops and towels to remove as much standing water as possible.
   • If you have access to a wet/dry vacuum, use it to extract water from carpets and floors.

3. Protect Valuables:

   • Move valuable items, such as electronics, documents, and photographs, to a dry area.
   • Place aluminum foil or wooden blocks under furniture legs to prevent further water damage.

4. Ventilate the Area:

   • Open windows and doors to promote air circulation and drying.
   • Use fans and dehumidifiers to help reduce moisture levels.
