- 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
