Handling water damage properly is very important and for this it is important to protect not only us but family members living with us.

Water is good conductor of electricity. Therefore switch off the main power supply. Even if the power grid is down do this “taking necessary measures is important”.
If the water level is low then general vacuum is good enough but of levels are high then you would require a motor. For this you need a professionals help. You might be thinking when power is off how will you use it … install a generator but watch out as carbon monoxide is released in an enclosed area. Further if refueling is required then let it cool off and do not attach any extension cable/ cord to it.
Use mineral water for drinking water as the water pipes might also be contaminated. It is wiser to turn off the main water supply valve. If this can’t be done all by you, hire a plumber right away. Hope you will take necessary precautions while handling water damage.
