Upon discovering a water leak, acting quickly can significantly minimize damage.

1. Prioritize Safety

• Turn off the water source: If the source of the leak is identified (e.g., a burst pipe under the sink, a leaky washing machine hose), shut off the water supply to that specific fixture or appliance. For a widespread leak, find the main water shut-off valve and turn it off. The main water shut-off is typically found in basements, crawl spaces, near water heaters, or outside where the water line enters the building.
• Turn off electricity: If water is pooling near electrical outlets, appliances, or light fixtures, immediately turn off the power to the affected area at the circuit breaker box.
• Be aware of slipping hazards: Exercise caution when moving around and warn others.

2. Contain the Water and Minimize Damage

• Move valuables: As quickly and safely as possible, move furniture, rugs, electronics, artwork, and other valuable items out of the flooded area. If they can't be moved, elevate them.
• Ventilate the area: Open windows and doors to promote airflow and help with initial drying.
• Caution! Never use a regular household vacuum cleaner to extract water. This can cause an electric shock and damage the vacuum.

3. Contact a Professional Remediation Company

• Why immediately? Water damage is progressive. The longer water sits, the more it saturates materials, leading to structural damage, staining and warping of materials, and mold growth (which can begin within 24-48 hours). Professional drying equipment is most effective to dry the area and prevent mold growth.

Disasters strike unexpectedly, leaving chaos and uncertainty in their wake. Find a trusted disaster restoration location near you and call immediately for emergency services.
