- If safe, stop the water source (main shutoff or appliance valve).
- Stay clear of electricity and standing water near outlets.
- Keep children and pets away from affected areas.
- Photograph damage for insurance before major cleanup.
- If storm or outdoor water entered, treat it as contaminated until a pro classifies it.
