1. Turn Off the Source and Electricity

If it’s safe, shut off the water source and turn off electrical breakers in affected areas. Safety always comes first.

2. Document the Damage

Take photos and videos of everything. This helps when filing an insurance claim and creates a record of what was damaged.  The more documentation…the better.  

3. Call a Professional Water Damage Restoration Team

DIY drying often isn’t enough. Hidden moisture can lead to mold in just 24-72 hours. At Restorepro, we use commercial-grade equipment to detect moisture behind walls and under floors — ensuring all affected areas are found and mitigated.
