2. Call your insurance company before you start cleanup. Ask what documentation they need. Most New Hampshire carriers want photos, a written timeline, and mitigation receipts.
3. Shut off the water at the main valve if the source is plumbing. Then kill power to wet areas at the breaker. Do not step into standing water until the power is off.
