When water enters your home, stress and frustration are bound to overwhelm your rational thinking abilities. A disorderly and jumbled reaction to discovering a water leak in your home is
completely understandable, but there are ways to keep your cool and deal with a water emergency quickly!

Water emergencies can vary in severity, and even a small amount of unexpected water should be taken seriously and approached with caution. While it can be beneficial to manage the areas most vulnerable to water damage, a quick response is essential when the time comes to deal with a situation like this.

Use these tips to speed up your response when water invades to keep the situation under control and save yourself from an expensive mess:

Scope Out the Source

If your water emergency hasn’t escalated into a full-blown flood yet, you still have time to locate the source before shutting off all water sources completely. If water is sourcing from a
household appliance or a bathroom fixture, you should be able to quickly turn them off.

When everything has been turned off, check your water meter to see if your leak indicator is still moving; if it is, you still have a leak!

An even easier method to stop water dead in its tracks is by finding your water shutoff valve. This method of mitigation is vital in more intense water emergencies where water just won’t stop flowing into your home.

Begin the Mitigation Process Early

To keep damage to a minimum, it’s important to clean and dry up the affected area before help arrives. This will enable you to minimize damage and can hasten the repair procedure if
restoration is required.

Opening up any windows and doors to let air in or running a fan could help speed up the drying process. Try to act fast by mopping up as much water as possible to keep water from making anymore of a mess. After these precautions, contact SERVPRO of Bartow County and we’ll finish the job!
