Do not do this
- Do not enter standing water in a room where the power is still on.
- Do not run household fans into wet walls — surface-drying hides water a meter can still find, and moving air across contaminated water spreads it.
- Do not use a regular household vacuum on water of any kind.
- Do not rip out wet drywall yourself before it is photographed and measured — the claim needs the loss documented as found.
- Do not run the furnace or AC if ducts or returns took water.
- Do not wait until morning. Water damage compounds by the hour, and mold starts within 24–48.
