Your First Moves After Water Damage in Brielle

Start ventilation if it is safe: open windows, run fans. This slows mold, but it does not replace professional drying. Do not use your HVAC if ducts got wet.

Move valuables and furniture out of the wet zone. Get rugs, electronics, and documents to dry ground. Every hour of contact increases the damage.

Call your insurance company before you start cleanup. Ask what documentation they need. Most New Jersey carriers want photos, a written timeline, and mitigation receipts.
