Water damage happens a lot of different ways.  Ways such as toilet overflow, sink overflow, dishwasher leak, washing machine overflow, or from a busted pipe.You never think it will happen, but when it does, there are some immediate steps to take to stop further damage.Eventually you do want to give your water damage restoration company a call, but before they arrive, do these steps.  This is coming from years of experience as a water damage San Diego company.

First off, you have to prevent any possibility of electrocution.You need to turn off the power in the flooded areas.The water damage repair company should be happy to walk you through those steps.

Second, you will want to stop any more water.You can do this by cutting off the source of water that caused the flooding.

Third, you are going to want to protect the furniture from any further damage.  Leaving furniture in water can turn something that could have been repaired into an item that will need to be replaced which will cost more money.  Get them out of the water as soon as possible.

Those are the things you have to do without hesitation before you even think about calling a water damage service.Now once you done all those steps and have called a good water damage cleanup company, here are a couple of more things you want tod do.

You want to get rid of as much water as possible by using a large towel or mopping to take up as much water as you can.  Remember, the longer any wall or furniture or flooring is exposed to water, the greater the damage can be including mold damage.

Next, you will want to wipe off any moisture from the  furniture.  Once again the idea is to try and minimize the damage as much as possible

Also you need to remove any wet area rugs, or anything else you find on the floor of the flooded area.

Finally you will want to open the closet doors and dresser drawers and anything else that can be opened which will allow the air to circulate.

Doing these things will allow you to minimize as much damage as possible prior to calling the water damage repair company.This will reduce the costs and save you money in the long run.
