What to do in the first moments after discovering water damage in your home.
Discovering water damage in your home can be stressful, but knowing what to do first can help limit the damage while you wait for help to arrive.
If the water is coming from a pipe, appliance, or fixture you can safely access, shut off the water supply to stop more water from entering your home.
If it's safe to do so, move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area to limit additional damage.
If the water may be contaminated, such as from a sewage backup, avoid direct contact and keep people and pets away from the area.
The sooner cleanup starts, the better the outcome. Reach out for emergency water damage service as soon as you can.
For small spills, yes. For significant water damage, it's best to call a professional to avoid missing hidden moisture.
In most cases yes, but if the water is contaminated or electrical systems may be affected, use caution and consider leaving the area until it's assessed.
We help with documentation, photographs, estimates, and communication with your insurance company from the very first call.
