A burst pipe, a failed water heater or a summer monsoon storm can flood a Las Vegas home in minutes. What you do in the first hours makes a big difference in how much damage spreads and how much of your property can be saved.

1. Stop the Water and Stay Safe

Shut off the main water valve if the leak comes from your plumbing, and turn off the power to wet areas if it is safe to do so. Never walk through standing water near outlets or appliances.

2. Document Everything

Take photos and videos of the affected rooms, furniture and belongings before you move anything. These records will help with your insurance claim.

3. Remove What You Can

Move rugs, electronics, documents and furniture to a dry area. Lift curtains off the floor and place aluminum foil under furniture legs to protect carpets.

4. Call a Restoration Professional

Water moves into drywall, subfloors and insulation quickly. Our team uses professional pumps, moisture meters and dehumidifiers to remove water and dry your home completely. Learn more about our Water Removal & Extraction service.

5. Watch for Mold

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours, even in the desert. Signs include a musty odor, stains on walls or ceilings and warped flooring.
