Water loss considerations
3/28/2022 (Permalink)
When facing water damage, our priority is to consider the health and safety of the occupants.
No matter the water loss you are dealing with, moving your family away from the site should be your first step if the situation seems to be going out of control.
Contain the damage: If possible, try to locate the source of the water damage and contain it. For instance, if the culprit is a broken pipe or a leak in the ceiling, you could use waterproof tape to hold the damage temporarily and prevent further damage.
If the circumstances seem severe, it is ideal to contact a water damage restoration professional to know how bad it is, especially if the area in question is near drywalls and crawlspaces.
Move your belongings: Relocating your belongings like furniture, home appliances, and clothing to a dry place is crucial; when most of them get wet or exposed to high moisture content, they can become a haven for mold growth.
Dealing with water damage can be a tricky task. The key is to take action within the first 48 hours and keep the microbial growth under constant check. Here is where water restoration specialists can play a crucial role.
