Stop the water
Shut off the source, cut power if water is near outlets, and keep people with breathing conditions away.
Dry and document
Photograph everything, then remove water and run fans and dehumidifiers. Don't disturb visible mold.
Test and plan
Get an inspection to find hidden moisture and document conditions for insurance.

Frequently asked questions
How fast does mold grow after water damage?
Mold can begin to grow on damp materials within 24–48 hours, which is why drying quickly matters.
Should I test before or after cleanup?
Documenting conditions before cleanup helps with insurance; a clearance test after remediation confirms the work succeeded.
Is it safe to stay in the house?
If there's extensive growth, sewage-contaminated water, or anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system, consider staying elsewhere and consult a doctor about symptoms.
