Emergency water-damage service guide

The points below are stated generically and are not professional advice. Always prioritize safety and consult qualified professionals for your specific situation.

• ●If there is an immediate danger to life or safety, contact emergency services (such as 911) before anything else.
• ●If there is a risk of electrical contact with standing water, avoid the area and consult a qualified electrician or your utility provider.
• ●If a large volume of water is entering and you can safely stop the source (for example, shutting off a known valve), doing so may reduce further damage.
• ●These are general, common-sense points. They are not professional advice. Your specific situation may require a qualified professional.
