Facing a flood can be a mentally and emotionally overwhelming experience for anyone. When disaster strikes, a well-executed plan can make all the difference - let's embark on this journey together to protect what matters most. 

If you’ve encountered flooding in your home, follow these steps in order: 

• 1. Ensure Personal Safety: Priority number one is ensuring your safety. If the flooding is life threatening or there is a risk of electrical hazards, evacuate the area immediately and call emergency services.

• 2. Identify the Source of the Flood: If there is no threat to your safety, try to identify the source of the flooding. Is it from a burst pipe, a leaking appliance, a sewer backup, or external factors like heavy snowfall? Knowing the source helps in taking appropriate actions.

• 3. Shut Off the Water Supply (if applicable): If the flooding is due to a burst pipe or malfunctioning appliance, locate and shut off the main water supply to your home to minimize further water damage.

• 4. Contact Professional Help: If you are currently renting, inform your property management company of the flood. Property managers have established relationships with service providers to receive expedited service. If you own your home, contact a reputable flood remediation company with strong reviews.
