Immediate Actions After Water Damage

What should I do immediately after water damage?

Water damage can be a devastating experience, and it’s important to act quickly to minimize the damage. Here are some immediate actions you should take after water damage occurs:

• **Stop the source of the water.** Turn off the water supply if possible, or call a plumber to fix the leak.
• **Remove standing water.** Use a wet/dry vacuum or mop to remove as much standing water as possible.
• **Open windows and doors to air out the area.** This will help to prevent mold and mildew from growing.
• **Remove wet items from the area.** This includes furniture, clothing, and anything else that has been soaked.
• **Place wet items in a well-ventilated area to dry.** If possible, place them in a sunny spot to help them dry more quickly.
• **Contact a professional water damage cleanup company.** A professional can help you to assess the damage and develop a plan to clean up and restore your property.

By following these steps, can help to minimize the damage and restore your property to its pre-damage condition.
