🚨 Your House is Flooded: What to Do RIGHT NOW

Water damage spreads every minute. Mold grows in 24 hours. Here's your action plan for the first 24 hours.

📞 CALL NOW: 321-420-7274 (24/7 Emergency Line)

FIRST: Ensure Safety (0-5 minutes)

Turn off electricity

If water is rising or already high, turn off power at main breaker. Electrical hazard.

Turn off gas

If you smell gas or see damage to gas line, turn off gas at meter. Don't turn it back on yourself.

Evacuate if unsafe

If water is rising fast, floor is slippery/dangerous, or you see electrical hazards, GET OUT and go to higher ground.

Move to high ground

Go upstairs, to roof, or outside if water is rising. Don't stay in flooded areas.

SECOND: Call for Help (5-15 minutes)

Call us immediately

321-420-7274. We arrive quickly. Water extraction + drying within hours = prevents mold.

Call insurance

Report the claim. Have address, policy # ready. Early claims get priority in adjuster queue.

Take photos/video

Document ALL damage before cleanup. Photos are proof for insurance. Use phone camera — timestamp matters.

THIRD: Damage Control (15 minutes - 2 hours)

Stop the water source (if safe)

Burst pipe? Turn off main water. Roof leak? Place bucket. Foundation seepage? Can't stop but document it.

Move valuable items to high ground

Documents, photos, electronics, irreplaceable items to upstairs or outside. Don't risk your valuables.

Open windows & doors

Increase air circulation. Remove water-damaged items to outside if possible. Air flow helps drying.

Don't touch electrical items

Wet electronics = fire hazard. Don't use until professionally inspected. Leave them where they are.

Don't throw away water-damaged items yet

Wait for professional assessment. Some items can be salvaged. Inventory before removal.

WHAT NOT TO DO (Critical Mistakes)

❌ Don't enter flooded areas without turning off electricity first

❌ Don't move items on wet floors — you'll slip and fall

❌ Don't throw away water-damaged items without documenting first (insurance needs proof)

❌ Don't try to dry the house yourself with fans — incomplete drying causes mold

❌ Don't clean up the mess before professional assessment (you need photos/documentation)

❌ Don't hire the cheapest contractor — cheap work = future mold/structural problems
