Water damage spreading? A free assessment can save thousands.
Call (844) 668-2858The first 60 minutes after water damage are critical. Here's exactly what to do — and what to avoid.
Shut off the main water valve if it's a pipe. If it's storm-related, move to step 2. Don't enter standing water near electrical outlets.
Turn off breakers to any room with standing water. If the breaker panel is in the flooded area, call your utility company first.
Photograph and video all damage before touching anything. Your insurance claim depends on evidence of initial conditions.
Don't wait. In Moorhead's climate, mold begins colonizing within 24–48 hours. The faster pros start extraction, the lower the total cost.
Move electronics, documents, and irreplaceable items to dry areas. Lift furniture off wet carpet with aluminum foil under the legs.
