- Shut off the water. Shut off water at the house valve or the meter box. Holiday Beach water comes from Holiday Beach WSC, so call it about the meter or a main break.
- Make it safe and document it. Cut power to wet rooms from a dry spot, photograph the damage, then report the claim.
- Start drying within 24 to 48 hours. Humid air off Copano Bay keeps wet materials wet, so ask for moisture readings in the floor system and the ductwork as well as the walls, and keep the AC running during drying.
Storm surge is the bigger threat here: leave when officials order an evacuation, and do not return until roads are open.
