Now, you can read on to learn exactly what to do before permanent water damage occurs to your property.

What can I do before the Water Damage Restoration team arrives?

While you’re waiting for the help, there are a few things you can do to minimize the water damage but always remember: Safety First. 

Do not touch any electrical items that are plugged in where there is water damage and be aware of slippery surfaces.

What you can do:

• Turn the water off to stop further damage if possible
• Turn off electrical circuit breakers to the affected area if necessary
• Call a plumber if needed 
• Take multiple pictures from different angles of affected areas and valuables
• Move valuables to a dry area if possible
• Protect furniture by putting legs on plastic coasters, lids or anything non absorbent that can raise the item out of the water
• Protect pets by moving them to a dry, safe area
• Remove water from hard surfaces if possible using towels or a mop
• Remove items from closets and under beds in affected areas
