What to Do in the First Hour After Water Damage
The first hour shapes how bad — and how expensive — water damage becomes.
Fast, calm action limits the damage. Here's what to do in your Cambridge home right away.
Immediately
- Stop the source if you safely can (shut off water)
- Cut power to affected areas if it's safe
- Move valuables out of the water
- Call for professional extraction
- Photograph everything for your claim
Don't wait to "see if it dries" — trapped moisture becomes mould within days.
We respond fast, 24/7. The sooner drying starts, the less is lost.
Frequently asked questions
Should I wait to see if it dries on its own?
