Why the order of work matters
Restoration follows a set order: make it safe, stop the damage, clean and dry, then rebuild. Skipping a step usually costs more later. Painting over a wet wall, for example, often leads to mold, and cleaning soot with the wrong method can set the stain permanently. Industry standards such as the IICRC S500 standard for water damage exist for exactly this reason.
Before you call
If it's safe, stop the source of water, keep away from wet electrical equipment, and take photos of the damage before anything is moved. These steps protect you and help with your insurance claim. The EPA's guide to mold and moisture explains why drying wet materials quickly is so important in a humid city like Houston.
