What to Do Right Now After Water Damage

The first 60 minutes after water damage are critical. Here's exactly what to do — and what to avoid.

3

Document Everything

Photograph and video all damage before touching anything. Your insurance claim depends on evidence of initial conditions.

4

Call a Professional

5

Protect Valuables

Move electronics, documents, and irreplaceable items to dry areas. Lift furniture off wet carpet with aluminum foil under the legs.

What should I do right now if my home has water damage?
Cut electricity to affected areas if safe. Stop the water source. Document everything with photos and video. Don't walk through standing water above ankle level. Then call a restoration professional immediately.
