WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD DO
What to do, and what not to do
✓ What to do
- Notify the property owner or manager and identify who can authorize access.
- Stay out of standing water near outlets, cords, or powered equipment.
- Stop a known water source only if the shutoff is safe to reach.
- Describe the source and affected rooms when calling; do not assume the water is clean.
- Move unaffected belongings only from safe, dry access routes.
- Arrange extraction and separate moisture assessment; document visible damage safely.
✕ What not to do
- Do not walk through wet areas near outlets or cords.
- Do not use a household vacuum on water.
- Do not leave wet belongings piled on damp floors.
- Do not wait for the landlord or HOA before limiting the damage if it is safe to act.
- Do not cover wet flooring or walls before they are checked.
- Do not assume neighbors’ units are unaffected.
If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services. Do not enter a hazardous area to complete these steps.

- 2

- 3
Remove the water
Check surrounding materials for moisture after visible water removal.
- 4
Dry and review repairs
Discuss drying, cleaning, and repairs as separate scope items.
Equipment and methods
What affects the outcome
The water source, exposure history, material condition, and concealed moisture affect whether materials can remain. Extraction alone is not a promise of complete restoration.
Pumps can suit deeper accumulation; portable extractors or wands may suit shallower water and some floor coverings. Equipment suitability and availability must be confirmed by the attending provider.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Residential Water Extraction FAQs
Who can authorize work at a rental?
Confirm authorization with the owner or property manager before arranging entry and work.
Is removing the puddle enough?
Not necessarily. Underlay, walls, and subfloors can remain wet and may need measurements and drying.
Can a household vacuum remove the water?
Do not use an ordinary household vacuum for water. Electrical safety and water contamination need assessment before any removal.
How long does extraction take?
Volume, access, equipment, and material conditions determine the work time. Ask for a scope-specific estimate; drying may continue separately.
Does extraction include cleaning and rebuilding?
Those are distinct activities. Ask the provider to itemize extraction, drying, cleaning, demolition, and repairs.
Who pays if I rent?
It depends on the lease, the cause and insurance. Notify your landlord and keep documentation.
Do I need to move my furniture?
Move items from safe, dry areas only. Do not enter unsafe or wet electrical areas.
Can I stay in the home?
That depends on the water source, hazards and the affected rooms. Ask during your call.
Can I arrange this at night or on a weekend?
