What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Drying does not undo mold that has already grown. It does stop new growth by bringing materials back to normal moisture, so the dehumidifiers keep running until the readings match.
- Shut off the water source if a pipe or appliance is still feeding the flood
- Move belongings up and out of the water, starting with electronics
- Photograph the waterline, the wet materials and the damaged items
- Call early, since drying that starts sooner usually means fewer equipment days
- Skip the household vacuum, which cannot handle standing water and is a shock risk
