Water Damage Tips: 

1. Shut off the water source if possible or contact a qualified professional to do so.
2. Turn off circuit breakers for wet areas of the building if access to the power distribution panel is safe from potential electrical shock. Do not enter rooms with standing water, as electrical shock hazards may exist.
3. Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping or placing towels. 
4. Move any art items, electronics, documents and other valuable items that may be sensitive to water to a safe place.
5. Remove books, newspapers, magazines or other colored items on wet carpets or floors as they may cause staining.
6. Do not use your household vacuum cleaner to remove water as there is potential for electrical shock or causing damage to the vacuum cleaner.
7. Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet; do not enter rooms where the ceiling is starting to bubble or coming down.
