If your home just flooded here is exactly what to do right now.
First shut off the main water supply if the flooding is from a pipe or appliance. If it is coming from outside focus on getting to safety first.
Turn off electricity to the affected areas at the breaker. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination and it is not worth the risk.
Do not use your regular household vacuum to remove water. It is not built for it and you can damage it or worse hurt yourself.
Start removing standing water with buckets, mops, or a wet vac if you have one. Get as much out as you can.
Run fans and your dehumidifier immediately. Airflow slows the damage while you wait for help.
Document everything with photos and video before anything is moved or cleaned. Your insurance claim depends on it.
Then call us. The longer water sits the more it costs and the more it spreads.
