While you wait for us to arrive: if it's safe, shut off the water source if the damage is from a pipe or appliance. Don't use household fans or dehumidifiers β they're not effective at structural drying and can spread contamination. Avoid walking through standing water if sewage may be involved. Move valuable items to dry areas if you can do so safely. Take photos and video of the damage for your insurance claim.
