What should I do immediately after water damage?

Experiencing water damage can be overwhelming, but it’s crucial to act quickly and appropriately to minimize damage and restore your property.

• Safety First: Ensure your safety and that of others by addressing electrical hazards, such as turning off the power supply or contacting an electrician.




• Stop the Water Source: If possible, identify and stop the source of water to prevent further damage.




• Remove Standing Water: Use a wet/dry vacuum, mop, or towels to remove as much standing water as possible.




• Ventilate the Area: Open windows and doors to promote air circulation and prevent mold growth.




• Document the Damage: Take photos or videos of the damaged areas for insurance purposes and to aid in the cleanup process.




• Call a Professional: If the damage is severe or you’re uncomfortable handling it yourself, contact a reputable water damage cleanup company for assistance.
