What steps should I take after a water damage incident?

First, contact a water-damage restoration company, such as PuroClean, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mould and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet in your home. Then, contact your insurance company to start the claim process. If safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. Don’t enter your home if it has suffered structural damage. Don’t walk through floodwater if electricity hasn’t been turned off and to avoid contaminants.
