    What to Do Immediately After a Flood in Olympia, WA

    Experiencing a flood in your Olympia home is overwhelming. Knowing exactly what to do in the first few hours can save you thousands of dollars in secondary damage.

    Immediate Actions

    1. Ensure Safety First: Turn off the electricity to the affected area from the main breaker before stepping into standing water.
    2. Stop the Source: If the flood is from a burst pipe, shut off the main water valve immediately.
    3. Document Everything: Take extensive photos and videos of the standing water and damaged items before moving anything. This is crucial for your insurance claim.
    4. Move Valuables: Relocate important documents, small furniture, and electronics to a dry area.
