First steps after you find water damage
- Stay safe. Keep away from standing water near outlets, appliances or a breaker panel. If it's safe to do so, shut off power to affected rooms.
- Stop the source. For a plumbing leak, close the main water shut-off valve. For storm or flood water, wait until it's safe before re-entering.
- Document everything. Take photos and video of the water, the damage and any affected belongings before anything is moved or thrown away.
- Move what you can. Lift furniture off wet floors, take rugs out, and move electronics and documents to a dry area.
- Get drying started fast. Wet materials can begin to grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so professional extraction and drying should start as soon as possible. Call (888) 817-5061.

Will my insurance cover water damage?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental water damage such as a burst pipe, while flooding from rising water generally requires a separate flood policy. Check your policy and contact your insurer as early as possible.
How quickly should water damage be dried?
As quickly as possible. The EPA advises drying wet building materials and furnishings within 24 to 48 hours to help prevent mold growth.
