When water damage happens, fast action matters. The first 24-48 hours are critical.
Shut off the source immediately, then remove standing water as quickly as possible.
Start airflow and dehumidification to reduce moisture trapped in walls and subfloors.
Document all damage with photos before teardown if insurance is involved.
Do not delay inspections - hidden moisture can lead to mold growth and structural issues.
