What you do today shapes both the damage and the claim.
Stop the water
Shut off the main valve or the appliance supply. If water is near outlets, turn off the power to that area.
Photograph everything
Every room, every wet item, before anything is moved or thrown out. It's the backbone of your claim.
Start drying fast
Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours. Professional drying protects the house and shows the insurance company you acted.
