What should I do immediately after water damage in Maine, ME?
The first thing to do is call +1-844-234-5373 — immediately. While you're waiting for us to arrive, if it's safe to do so, shut off the water supply at the source if the damage is from a pipe or appliance. Don't run fans or use household dehumidifiers — they can spread contamination and are not effective substitutes for professional drying equipment. Remove any valuables from the wet area if you can do so safely. Don't enter flooded areas if there's any risk of electrical exposure.
