A water damage can be nightmare for a homeowner’s because it will damage the structure of your property and your contents. Water leaks happen for various reasons and from many sources within your home: a burst pipe, overflowing toilet, dripping dishwasher or other plumbing fixture.

Here are some steps you can take to minimize your damage

• Control the source- Shut off the direct water supply line or the main shut off valve.
• Safety- If water is near electrical outlets, turn off the electricity at your fuse/breaker box and call an electrician before attempting anything else.
• Call a plumber/roofer if needed and water restoration expert. There are many who have 24/7 availability for emergencies. We, here at Swift Restoration, can be contacted and assist you at a moment’s notice. Don’t hesitate to contact us even for questions.
• If water is leaking from a ceiling, place a bucket under the leak.
• caution – If the ceiling is “bowed”, be aware that the ceiling might collapse.
• Use wet shop vacuum, towels or mops and available fans to extract the water
• Move all of your belongings to a safe and dry area.
• Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to file a claim.
