Identify the Source of the Flood

To prevent further damage, it's essential to identify the source of the flood. Check for signs of water damage, such as warping or rotting wood, and look for any visible water leaks.

Contain the Floodwaters

Once you've identified the source of the flood, take steps to contain it. Use sandbags or wet sponges to block off any areas that are beyond your control.

Document the Damage

Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance purposes, but be cautious not to put yourself in harm's way. Be sure to document any personal belongings that are affected by the flood.

Contact Your Insurance Company

Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage and initiate the claims process. They may have specific requirements for documentation and repairs.
