What to do if you find Water Damage in Your Home

If you have never experienced water damage in your home before, that is wonderful and we hope you never experience it! However, it’s best to know what to do in case something ever happens to preserve as much of your home as possible from the water damage. Here are the basics on what to do if you ever experience this in your home.

First you need to dry up any of the excess water in your home and figure out where the leaking water is coming from. Stop the leak from preventing more damage to your home. If you can’t fix it where the leak is coming from then turn off the main water supply to your home.

Immediately start restoring the home by using towels to soak up as much water as possible. Now you will need to contact a reputable water restoration company, like us, so we can get your home restored quickly. You will then need to call your home insurance to let them know what is going on, your insurance may cover the costs of restoration. Keep track of how much time and money you put into the process of the restoration for insurance purposes.

These first few steps need to be done as quickly as possible to protect your home from as much water damage as possible. The reason why calling your insurance is closer to the bottom of the list is because they want homeowners to do everything in their power to fix the problem before it becomes worse. Don’t wait until the restoration process is complete to call your insurance company, call them that same day if possible.
