Emergency Tips & Resources
What to do (and what NOT to do) when disaster strikes your property.
The first 24 hours after property damage are critical. Your actions can significantly impact the cost, duration, and outcome of your restoration. Here's what our IICRC-certified technicians recommend.
Water Damage: First 24 Hours
DO:
- Shut off the water source if you can safely identify it
- Call WrightWay immediately at (941) 379-8669 — we respond 24/7
- Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or electrical panels
- Move furniture off wet carpet — place aluminum foil under wood furniture legs
- Remove area rugs and valuables from wet floors
- Mop and blot excess water you can safely reach
- Open windows and doors to increase air circulation (if weather permits)
- Take photos and video of all damage before any cleanup
DON'T:
- Don't use a household vacuum to remove water — it's an electrocution risk
- Don't enter rooms with standing water if electricity is on
- Don't lift tacked-down carpet — this requires professional equipment
- Don't use electrical appliances while standing on wet surfaces
- Don't wait — mold can begin growing in as little as 24-48 hours
Fire & Smoke Damage: First 24 Hours
DO:
- Contact WrightWay for emergency board-up and stabilization
- Contact your insurance company to file a claim immediately
- Limit time inside — soot and smoke residue are toxic
- Change HVAC filters and turn off the system to prevent smoke spread
- Open windows carefully if the structure is safe
- Wipe down surfaces gently with dry chemical sponges (not wet cloths)
- Remove food items exposed to heat, smoke, or firefighting chemicals
DON'T:
- Don't turn on ceiling fans or HVAC — this spreads soot further into the home
- Don't attempt to clean soot with water — it creates permanent stains
- Don't touch walls or ceilings — oils from your skin set soot stains
- Don't eat food exposed to smoke or chemicals
- Don't wash textiles at home — professional cleaning prevents permanent odor
Mold: What to Know
- Mold can grow in 24-48 hours on any wet surface — speed matters
- Visible mold is just the start — it often extends behind walls and under floors
- Don't disturb mold growth — this releases spores into the air
- Close doors to affected areas to prevent cross-contamination
- Don't use bleach — it doesn't kill mold on porous surfaces and can create toxic fumes
- Call a certified mold remediation company like WrightWay for proper containment and removal
- Get air quality testing to determine spore counts and species
Hurricane & Storm Preparation
- Know your shut-offs — water main, gas main, and electrical panel
- Document your property now — take photos/video of every room before storm season
- Enroll in WrightWay's ERP — get Matterport 3D documentation, drone footage, and VIP response free
- Review your insurance policy — understand your flood, wind, and deductible provisions
- Clear gutters and drains before storms arrive
- Board windows and protect openings with hurricane shutters or plywood
- Store valuables and documents in waterproof containers above ground level
- After the storm — document all damage, call WrightWay, then call your insurance company

Fast Response to our Emergency, water leaking into our newly remodeled condo through the ceiling from the unit above. Teresa was an Angel, getting a crew to us quickly while patiently listening to my panic and all my questions. The leak was more involved than anticipated, but the crews were there promptly, politely, and carefully on top of things. Once done, Clarence was conscientious about getting the ceiling sheetrock guy to come out. The job was seamless and expert! Great job!
