When you discover water or fire damage, the instinct may be to immediately start tearing out materials, moving everything, or trying to clean it yourself. But acting without knowing the full extent of the damage can sometimes make cleanup more difficult.
Start by making sure the area is safe, document what you can, and bring in a restoration professional to evaluate the situation and determine the right next steps.
