Emergency Water Damage Tips

• Shut-off the water source, if possible or contact a qualified professional to stop the water source.
  
  
• Turn-off circuit breakers for wet areas of the building when access to the power distribution panel is safe from electrical shock.
  
  
• Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting.
   
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.
  
  
• Move any paintings, art objects, computers, documents, and other sensitive valuables to a dry place.
   
• Do not enter affected areas if electrical outlets, switches, circuit breakers, or electrical equipment are exposed to water.
   
• Always avoid electrical shock hazards. Do not use your household vacuum cleaner to remove water! This could cause electrical shock or damage to the device.
   
• Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet or enter rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.
