What to Do When Water Damage Hits in Eagle Creek

Do not tear out drywall or flooring yourself before the adjuster sees it. Unauthorized demolition can complicate or reduce your Tennessee insurance claim.
Remove wet cardboard boxes immediately. They disintegrate, stain everything they touch, and feed mold. Transfer contents to plastic bins in a dry Eagle Creek room.
Keep a written log with times: when you found the water, who you called, what was done. Claims with clear timelines settle faster in Eagle Creek.
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.
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.
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.
