What you do in the first hour matters more than almost anything that happens after.
If the water is coming from a identifiable source, like a supply line or an appliance, shutting off the water at the source or at your home's main shutoff valve is the first priority. If the source isn't obvious or safely accessible, don't take risks trying to find it.
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If it's safe to reach your breaker panel without stepping through water, shut off power to the affected area. If the panel itself is in or near the affected area, leave this to a professional.
The sooner a provider can begin extraction and drying, the less material typically needs to be replaced. Waiting even a day can significantly increase the scope of damage.
If it's safe to do so, move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area. Don't put yourself at risk to save belongings.
Photos and video of the damage, taken before cleanup begins, are useful for insurance purposes. Your matched provider can advise on what additional documentation your specific claim may need.
