Water damage restoration can range from simple carpet cleaning and dry out, to flood extraction, drywall or flooring replacement, to structural restoration. Every situation is different, yet there are some things that you should know about water damage that can prevent the problem or minimize it:

* The most important thing in a water damage situation is your safety. To prevent electrocution, be sure to unplug appliances near water damage and flooding, or turn off power to the house completely.

* Next, if possible, you should try to stop the water from the source. Turn off water line if the damage is being caused by a leaky or burst pipe. If leak from outside the house, like a leaky roof or broken window, try to secure the structure until professional help arrives. Frequently inspect your walls and ceiling for discoloration and staining caused by less noticeable leaks.

* Humidity in the home is a major cause of water condensation, and ultimately damage, in the attic. The attic needs to be properly sealed off from the rest of the house. If discoloration, condensation or mold is found on or around your vents or in your attic, contact a professional immediately to repair the damage and remove the mold right away.

* Water damaged and other high moisture areas are ideal for mold growth. It is important to constantly check for leaks and water damage, and repair damaged areas completely, to help prevent subsequent mold growth and additional cost to you.
