The first hour matters most
Some water damage can't wait: a burst supply line behind the washer, a water heater in the garage that let go, a toilet line spraying behind the wall, rain coming through the ceiling in the middle of a storm. While it is still happening it is hard to tell how bad it is.
The order never changes. Make it safe, stop the water, get the standing water out and start drying. When you call, say where the water is coming from and whether it has stopped, so the company you are connected with knows what to bring.
Right now
What to do first
- If water is near outlets, appliances or the panel, stay out of it. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or you smell gas.
- Shut off the water at the fixture or the main shutoff at the front of the house. For a roof leak, put buckets down and move valuables.
- If a ceiling is sagging with water, keep everyone out of the room below it.
- Photograph everything wet before you move it.
- Call your insurer to open a claim, and call us to be connected with a restoration company.
What an emergency response involves
What a restoration contractor should do, so you know what to expect and what to ask.
Safety check
Electrical hazards, sagging ceilings and contaminated water come first. Nobody should work in an unsafe room.
Urgent water removal
Standing water is extracted quickly so less of it soaks into walls, cabinets and flooring.
Moisture mapping
Readings show where the water went, including rooms that look dry.
Drying and stabilizing
Air movers and dehumidifiers go in. Wet contents are moved or protected.
Documentation
Photos, readings and notes from day one make the insurance claim easier.
Next steps
Once things are stable, the contractor explains what has to be replaced and what the repair stage looks like.

Questions
Emergency Water Damage: common questions
How fast can someone come out?
That depends on the contractor's schedule, your location and, during a hurricane, on the roads. They will tell you when you are connected. We don't promise arrival times we can't control.
Should I call my insurance company first?
Make the property safe and stop the water first. Then call your insurer to report the claim. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, which includes starting mitigation.
Can I dry it myself with fans?
Small, clean spills on tile, maybe. Water that reached drywall, carpet pad, cabinets or the ceiling needs extraction and moisture readings, or it dries on the surface and stays wet inside.
