Overview

After Property Damage

When something floods, burns, or backs up, a few smart moves in the first hour limit the damage and protect your claim. The goal is simple: stay safe, stop the source if you can, document, and call. Here is the order that keeps a bad day from getting worse.

  • Make it safe first: shut off power to the affected area if water is near outlets
  • Stop the source if you safely can, like the main water valve
  • Take photos and video of everything before you move it
  • Move small valuables to a dry, safe spot
  • Do not throw damaged items out until the loss is documented
  • Call us, and your insurer, as soon as you can

Questions

Answers before you call

What is the single most important first step?

Safety. If water is near outlets or the panel, stay clear and shut off power to that area if you can reach it safely. Everything else comes after that.

Should I start cleaning up myself?

Document first with photos, then move only small valuables to a dry spot. Do not throw anything out yet, and do not wade through water that may be contaminated.

How soon should I call?

As soon as it is safe. The faster we start, the less has to be torn out and rebuilt, and the cleaner your documentation will be.

Your property. Our priority.

Water, fire, mold, or sewage, one call starts the recovery. We show up fast and we do not leave until it is done right.
