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.
