Forbes Advisor reports, “If you’re a homeowner, water is one of the biggest threats to your house and personal belongings. Your house has an intricate network of plumbing, and a burst pipe could lead to both major headaches and expensive repair bills. Not to mention other water problems, like a heavy storm, a deep freeze, or even a busted hose on a dishwasher. It seems your home is always moments away from getting soaked. Water damage (including damage from freezing) is one of the most common and most costly types of homeowners insurance claims. Every year, about one in 50 homeowners will file a water damage or freezing claim, accounting for almost 24% of all homeowners insurance claims, according to the Insurance Information Institute. The average cost of a water damage or freezing claim is about $10,900.”

Homeowners need not worry about a potential water damage disaster every time a thunderstorm rumbles through the neighborhood or every time they use an appliance such as a washing machine or dishwasher. However, it is important to know how to deal with that first water damage disaster when it occurs.

One in fifty homes will have to deal with a water damage disaster; the key to successfully overcoming the stress, disruption, and damage is to be prepared. Listed below are eight tips to put into practice when water damage is present in the home.

  1. Act quickly to begin the water removal and damage restoration process.

A delay in the water removal and damage restoration process will allow the situation to worsen. If the water intrusion is left unresolved, water will find its way into walls, vents, electrical sockets, appliances, and furniture. Fast action can prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

  1. Hire a professional water damage restoration company to remove the water and restore the property.

Professionals with the right equipment and education can finish the job quickly. They can also handle the insurance claim process from start to finish.

  1. Identify the source and extent of the water damage.

The source of the water intrusion must be located and resolved, and the extent of the damage must be carefully identified. The failure to remove all the water and restore the entire damaged area can result in the growth of dangerous mold, bacteria, or other toxins.

  1. Take the necessary safety precautions.

A water damage disaster can involve category two water and category three water which are unsanitary. This environment requires the appropriate safety gear, including protective clothing, gloves, boots, and masks. The risk of electrical shock in a water damage disaster is high. Trained professionals know how to safely work in this environment.

  1. Use the appropriate equipment to extract the water and dehumidify the residence.

Brooms, mops, and towels cannot safely and completely remove all of the water and moisture from the damaged area. Strong vacuums, rapid-spin fans, industrial-strength dehumidifiers, and appropriate cleaning products are foundational for completing the job correctly.

  1. Hire a water damage restoration company with trained, certified technicians.

Before contracting with a company for services, ensure the technicians are trained and certified in water damage restoration. Check the company’s Better Business Bureau rating, and look at customer reviews online. Make sure the company is licensed, certified, and insured.

  1. The lowest-priced service provider may not provide the best service.

Consider the company’s years of experience, track record, and qualifications. Experienced technicians using the latest equipment and best cleaning techniques will be more efficient and thorough than novices. An inferior water damage restoration can lead to health issues, mold, and structural damage to the home.

  1. Hire a water damage restoration company that guarantees emergency services.

A delay of a day or two in the water removal and extraction process allows the extent of the damage to worsen, expanding the scope of the restoration project and increasing the cost of the project. Hire a company that guarantees a quick response time.
