Water damage can be quite disastrous as it can
cause extreme damage to the building. During a
flood many unwanted things can come into your
home like sewage, debris, chemicals, mud and
other types of contaminants. All these unwanted
materials are dropped and left behind as the
water recedes. Even if the water damaged is
caused from a source of clean water like bathtub
overflow, an unattended faucet or a refrigerator
water line break, the water mixes with the dirt
and other substances on the floor and carpets of
your home. Shorted-out electrical systems,
ruined carpets and soggy drywall are common
after-effects of water damage, making the matter
even worse. If the cleaning work is not done in a
proper and swift manner, then the mould will
likely sprout and cause more damage to your home.

Whatever the cause of the flood, you must ensure
that the affected area is quarantined as soon as
possible. Safety Should Be Priority Where
there is water damage the safety of your family
should be given high priority. Ensure that all
the main power switches are turned off and are
not in contact with the water. Its recommended
that you should leave affected until the water is
removed completely. Stop the Water Flow Once
you are sure that the area is safe to enter again
its important that you stop the flow of the
water. If the water is still flowing then of
course any cleanup effort will go waste. You
should shut down the water mains if the water
damage occurred due to a mishap while plumbing.

If nature and weather conditions are the reason
for the water damage then you will have no choice
but wait for the conditions to improve. Damage
can be minimised by doing emergency, quick
repairs. Wherever it is possible try to limit the
amount of water coming inside your house. You can
use buckets, tarps, storm shutters, sandbags and
other tools to limit the water flow. Cleaning
and Drying Mopping and drying your home is
very important. The sooner its done, the better.
If neglected, the water will soak into the
carpets, walls and floors making it an ideal
environment for mould to flourish. Its advisable
that you use proper protective clothing like
gloves and a breathing mask. This should be done
to avoid spreading disease due water contaminated
with sewage or chemicals.
