Your First Moves After Water Damage in Lake

1. Kill electricity to wet areas at the breaker panel. Label the breakers today so you are not guessing in the dark during a Lake emergency. Water and current are a lethal combination.
2. 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.
3. Move valuables and furniture out of the wet zone. Get rugs, electronics, and documents to dry ground. Every hour of contact increases the damage.
4. Bag and label damaged personal items rather than discarding them. Adjusters in Mississippi may want to inspect, and your inventory list needs to match what was actually lost.
5. Keep pets and kids clear of wet zones. Contaminated water carries real health risks, and Lake emergency crews will tell you the same on arrival.
6. Remove wet cardboard boxes immediately. They disintegrate, stain everything they touch, and feed mold. Transfer contents to plastic bins in a dry Lake room.
