What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
- Keep people out of wet electrical areas while the source is being stopped.
- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
