  1. Remove wet cardboard boxes immediately. They disintegrate, stain everything they touch, and feed mold. Transfer contents to plastic bins in a dry Marseilles room.
  2. Kill electricity to wet areas at the breaker panel. Label the breakers today so you are not guessing in the dark during a Marseilles emergency. Water and current are a lethal combination.
  3. Mop up what you safely can, but leave extraction to truck-mounted equipment. Household wet-vacs cannot pull water from pad and subfloor the way pro gear does.
  4. Do not run the dishwasher, washer, or showers until the source is identified. Adding more water to a Marseilles home with an active leak compounds every problem.
  5. Shut off the HVAC if return ducts run through wet areas. Blowing air through contaminated ductwork spreads the problem through your whole Marseilles house.
  6. Keep pets and kids clear of wet zones. Contaminated water carries real health risks, and Marseilles emergency crews will tell you the same on arrival.
