What to do in the first hour
Stop the water at its source
Close the main shutoff for a supply failure. For roof or storm intrusion, cover the opening only if you can do it safely from the ground — never on a wet or damaged roof.
Kill power to affected areas
If water reached outlets, appliances, or the panel area, shut off the breaker for those circuits from a dry position — or call an electrician rather than stepping into standing water.
Photograph everything before you move it
Wide shots of each room, close-ups of damage, and the source itself. Adjusters ask for this, and it's very hard to reconstruct after cleanup starts.
Get professional drying equipment in place the same day
Household fans do not dry a wall cavity. Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers placed within hours are the difference between drying materials in place and demolishing them.

Frequently asked questions
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Sudden, accidental events — a burst pipe, a failed appliance hose — are typically covered. Gradual seepage, long-term leaks, and rising floodwater generally are not; flooding needs separate flood coverage. Read your specific policy and document everything immediately.
Should I call insurance or a restoration company first?
Stop the water, then call a restoration company. Policies require you to prevent further damage, and mitigation can't wait for an adjuster's visit. Notify your insurer the same day.
How long does drying take?
Typical structural drying runs three to five days with equipment running, confirmed by moisture meter readings — not by whether surfaces feel dry. Rebuild work starts after that.
Can I just use my own fans and a dehumidifier?
For a small clean-water spill caught in minutes, sometimes. Anything that reached wall cavities, subfloor, or insulation, or sat overnight, needs commercial equipment and verification — otherwise you seal moisture inside the assembly.
How fast does mold start?
Mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours in damp materials. That window is why same-day response matters more in water damage than in almost any other home service.
What if the water was from a sewer backup?
Treat it as a health hazard, keep people and pets out of the area, and use a company equipped for category 3 water. Porous materials that absorbed it — carpet, pad, often drywall — normally have to be removed rather than dried.
