WATER DAMAGE-WHAT TO DO
9/6/2021 (Permalink)
STEP 1: Turn off Water
To keep water from spreading and causing additional damage, it is important to cut off the source. Label or know where your main water shut off valves are.
STEP 2: Identify the Cause of Loss
Identifying where the source of water is coming from can help our crews determine the water category and possible pathways of water intrusion.
STEP 3: Remove Valuables
Move furniture or valuable items out of the water pathway if possible. Always asses if it is safe to do so. For heavy furniture you can place foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpet to prevent further damage.
Calling a Water Mitigation company is essential in preventing secondary damages. Our certified water technicians can assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Drying is critical in preventing mold growth and containing the damage caused to your home.
