Stop the source
Active water should be shut off, repaired, or otherwise controlled before cleanup can be durable.
Trace where the water traveled
Water can move under flooring, behind baseboards, through ceilings, into wall cavities, and through insulation.
Drying and remediation are connected
Some materials can dry in place while others may need to be opened or removed depending on the water source, duration, and condition.
Document the event
Photographs, repair records, and a simple timeline can be useful when insurance may be involved.
Watch for delayed clues
Musty odors, staining, swelling, soft drywall, peeling finishes, or recurring dampness can appear after the obvious water is gone.
