What To Do If You’re Experiencing a Water Damage Emergency

  • Because water and bacteria-growth damages can become unmanageable within a few hours, call professional help immediately.
  • Move valuables such as photos, paintings, and art objects to a safe, dry location.
  • Remove as much water as possible by blotting and mopping.
  • Remove floor coverings (carpets, mats, etc.) not permanently attached to the floor.
  • Shut off electricity if you can safely access the power mains (if not, contact your utilities companies immediately).
  • Lift draperies and curtains from the floor by looping the material through a coat hanger and hang on a drapery rod.
  • Wipe furniture, prop up wet cushions to dry, and place aluminum foil under furniture legs.
  • Open drawers, closets, and cabinets to enhance drying.
  • Open windows and doorways to enhance airflow.

What Not to Do if Your Home is Flooding

  • Never enter a room with standing water. Only do so wearing protective boots and if you’re 100% sure the electricity has been turned off.
  • Never use electrical appliances while standing on/or near wet carpet or flooring.
  • Do not disturb visible mold.
  • Avoid living in the affected area or home until you’re sure the property has been adequately restored.
  • Never lift tacked-down carpet without professional help.
