Steps in Dealing with Water Damage

Now that the hurricane has passed and left your home in shambles, it is time to start cleaning up the mess caused by water damage. But before you start drying your wet documents or scrubbing your floorboards, you first have to scan your surroundings and assess whether the coast is clear or not.

Safety comes first before anything else. Although there may seem to be no dangers at first glance, you have to keep in mind that water damage always presents hazards to both you and your house. Therefore, safety precautions must start even before entering your house.

The first step that you need to take is to determine whether your house is structurally stable or not. This is to avoid any accidents that might happen when you start your water damage restoration process. To do this, take a look at your home’s walls and ceilings. If there are sagging or collapsed parts, the house is not structurally stable, so better keep out. At this stage, it is clear that the house is not safe for living as of the moment, so it is advisable to find a temporary dwelling place. Calling your insurance company is also a good idea.

Now, if you decide that the house is pretty safe to enter, turn off all power, gas, and water supplies. These can pose some serious dangers, like the risk of getting electrocuted, for example. Also, be wary of animals and rodents that might have taken refuge inside your home. Make use of protective gear, such as gloves, masks, gowns, and rubber boots to protect you from all the hazards of water damage.

After employing precautionary measures, protect your assets by calling your insurance company as soon as you can. It might also be advisable to call a damage restoration professional to aid you in your quest for recovering from water damage. You also need to create a damage inspection checklist to help you in securing your assets. This will enable you to inspect your belongings more closely, jotting down all your observations in a piece of notebook. You must look for both interior and exterior signs of water damage. Inside the house, you can assess water damage by looking at the ceiling, the walls, and checking the basement.

You must also employ structural stabilization procedures to aid in you in speedier water damage recovery. Expose as much of your water-damaged house interior into the air by opening the windows and doors. Also, make use of a fan so that the process will not take very long. Aside from this, you must also divert the water from your properties, repair damages in your house, and remove debris and mud from your things.

After the stabilization process comes the drying of your properties. Several drying methods can be used, depending on the item that needs to be dried. For example, papers should be freeze-dried, while air drying works best on most items.

Dealing with water damage may be a grueling task, but knowing what to do in the face of such disaster can help speed up your recovery process.
