4. Get Your Valuables To A Safer Place To Reduce Risk Of Damage
Where you are unable to get to the source of water and turn it off, try to move your
undamaged goods from flooded sections and take them upstairs or even to the attic. The point
is to try and salvage anything you can to minimize financial losses.
5. Remove Water
As you wait for help, mop up the water to minimize destruction to your personal valuables.
However, before you begin mopping, make sure this water is clean. Gray or black water often
contains bacteria that may cause infections or put your life at risk of other health
complications. If it is an external sewer line that’s causing water to fill your house, do not
attempt to remove the water. Just wait for help.
