Water Damage in Baton Rouge: What to Do in the First 24 Hours
The first day decides whether you are replacing a floor or a house. Here is what our crew tells every homeowner who calls, in the order it matters.
In this guide
1. Shut off the source
If water is still coming in, nothing else matters until it stops. For a supply line or water heater, the main shutoff is usually at the street meter or where the line enters the house. For a roof leak, a tarp buys time. For rising floodwater, there is no shutoff; skip to step two.
