        "text": "After discovering water damage, immediately stop the water source if safe to do so, turn off electricity to affected areas, and protect valuable items by moving them to a dry location. Avoid entering rooms with standing water if electrical hazards are present. Document the damage with photos and videos for insurance purposes. At Hometelligent Inc., we recommend prioritizing safety and preventing further immediate damage before professional assessment.",
