What to do in a water damage situation?

So you've had a water damage. What now? Your home or business is flooded with water and it has caused a major disruption. Water damage is often unavoidable and though you may not be able to stop it from happening, you can take certain steps to help turn a disaster into a manageable crisis.

The first thing you should do in the event of a water damage is to find the source of the water and if possible, photograph or video it. Once the source has been documented, shut off the flow of water either from an applicable valve or the main water shut off. If you are a tenant in a commercial building, you may need to immediately call maintenance or the property management to shut off the flow of water and repair the damaged part.

It is important to contact a licensed restoration professional like Resto Clean to help with the structural drying. We have extensive training and specialized equipment to get moisture out of permeable building materials and prevent mold or rot.

One of the main reasons for hiring a restoration professional is the prevention of secondary damage like mold and rot. This can have adverse effects on your health as well as compromise the structural integrity of your home and business and can go on completely unseen beneath floors and within walls.

It is also important that you remove any personal belongings in the loss area to prevent further damage to them.
