Water damage can spread quickly through floors, walls and hidden spaces. Acting promptly can reduce secondary damage and make the restoration process much easier.
Start with safety
If water is near electrical systems, appliances or structural areas, stay clear and contact qualified professionals. Stop the source of water when it is safe to do so.
Document the damage
Take clear photographs and videos of affected rooms and belongings before cleanup begins. This information can be useful during the restoration and insurance process.
Call a restoration professional
Professional water extraction, drying and moisture inspection help prevent lingering moisture and related problems such as mold.
