Homeownership comes with its fair share of surprises, and a leak is one of the least welcome. But don’t panic! With a cool head and quick action, you can minimize damage and get your home back to normal as quickly as possible.
Step 1: Stop the Water
The first step is to stop the water from causing more damage. Shut off the water supply to the affected area if you can identify it, or turn off the main water supply to the house.
Step 2: Remove and Protect Valuables
Next, remove any valuables from the area to prevent further damage. If any furniture or other items are too big to move, cover them with a plastic sheet to protect them from water damage.
Step 3: Document the Damage
Now, it’s time to document the damage. Take plenty of photos and videos of the affected area for your insurance company. This will help when you’re filing a claim.
Step 4: Contact Your Insurance Company
As soon as possible, get in touch with your insurance company. They will guide you through the process of filing a claim and let you know what information they need. Be sure to ask them about what is covered under your policy.
Step 5: Contact a Remediation Company
Your next step should be contacting a professional water damage remediation company. These experts will help dry out, clean, and disinfect your home, preventing mold and mildew from setting in.
