Standing water isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a ticking clock for serious damage. Within hours, water can seep into walls, floors, and furnishings, causing:
Weakening of wood, drywall, and plaster.
Mold and bacteria thrive in damp environments.
Excess moisture leads to airborne contaminants.
At Fire & Water Damage Recovery, we’ve perfected a step-by-step water removal process to ensure your property is restored safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard. Here’s how we handle water removal from start to finish:
Homeowners insurance typically covers water damage caused by incidents like burst pipes, accidental overflows, or roof leaks, but coverage varies based on the cause and policy details. It usually does not cover flooding, which requires separate flood insurance, or damage due to poor maintenance, such as neglecting a leaking roof. Additionally, sewage backups are often not covered. It’s essential to review your policy and consult with your insurance agent to understand the specifics of water damage coverage.
While waiting for professional assistance, taking proactive steps can help minimize water damage and ensure safety. Follow these guidelines to protect your property and belongings:
If the flooding is due to a plumbing issue, locate the main water shutoff valve and turn it off immediately. This will prevent additional water from flowing into your home or business and help contain the problem.
Quickly remove smaller, valuable items like electronics, important documents, photos, and cherished keepsakes from affected areas. Place them in a dry, safe location to prevent further damage.
Do not enter rooms with standing water unless you are certain it is safe. Standing water could be electrically charged due to damaged wiring or appliances, or it might contain contaminants that pose health risks.
If weather permits, open windows and doors to improve air circulation. Ventilation can help slow the spread of moisture to unaffected areas and reduce the risk of mold growth. However, avoid using fans if they could blow contaminated water into clean areas.
If it’s safe to do so, place wooden furniture on blocks or move it out of the affected area to prevent staining or warping. Remove wet cushions, rugs, and curtains, and hang them up to dry in a separate, unaffected location.
