-- Davie, FL (October 12, 2026): RestorationXpress is sharing practical guidance for homeowners across Broward County on what to do in the first 24 hours after storm or flood water gets inside a home, as hurricane season continues to bring heavy rain and flooding risk to the region.
- Prioritize safety first. Stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings, exposed wiring, or standing water near electrical outlets, and do not turn on power in affected areas until it has been checked.
- Stop the source if possible, such as closing a valve or covering a broken window, but only if it can be done safely.
- Document the damage with photos or video before moving items, to have a clear record of what occurred.
- Remove standing water and wet items where it is safe to do so, and begin air circulation with fans or open windows if weather allows.
- Separate wet belongings, such as furniture, rugs, and papers, from dry areas to limit further spread of moisture.
- Watch for signs of mold, including musty odors or discoloration on walls and baseboards, which can begin to develop within the first day or two after water exposure.
