After a leak, grab towels and a mop to soak up standing water quickly; use a wet-dry vacuum for carpets and baseboards to prevent mold. Open windows and set up fans to dry the area within 24 hours—musty smells mean moisture's still there. Check under cabinets and behind furniture where water hides; toss soaked cardboard boxes but salvage plastic bins. Wear gloves if the water's from a toilet or drain, and disinfect with a vinegar solution before it seeps into drywall or floors.
