Act Fast: What to Do Within the First 24 Hours of Water Damage
Time is everything when water hits your home.
Whether it’s a burst pipe, storm surge, or overflowing appliance, the first 24 hours are critical. Here's a quick step-by-step guide to minimize damage and stay safe:
What to do immediately:
- Turn off electricity (if safe) to prevent shocks.
- Stop the water source.
- Document everything with photos—your insurance will thank you.
- Remove what you can—move furniture, rugs, and electronics out of the affected area.
- Call the pros. Waiting days invites mold and structural decay.
Remember: mold can begin growing in as little as 24-48 hours.
