Water damage? Move fast, in this order

Water damage gets worse and more expensive by the hour. Work through this in order:

Stop the water source if you can safely do so
Cut power to any flooded area before stepping in water
Get people and pets out of contaminated water
Photograph everything before you clean up (insurers assess what they can see, and the evidence disappears once you mop up)
Start cleanup within the first 24 hours. Mould risk begins at 24 to 48 hours
Before hiring, ask each provider for current licence, insurance and credential details
