What to Do Immediately After Water Damage in Las Vegas (Emergency Checklist)
Step 1: Stay Safe
Before anything, check for safety hazards like:
- Electrical wires near water—turn off power immediately if it’s safe.
- Slippery floors—use caution to avoid falls.
- Bulging walls, ceilings, or floors—leave the area immediately and call a professional.
Step 2: Stop the Water (If Possible)
If water is still flowing, find the source and stop it:
