  1. Effective Water Damage Restoration

  2. Ensure Safety First • Turn off power to the affected area if water levels are significant. • Wear protective gear like rubber boots and gloves to avoid contamination or injury. • Ensure the structure is stable if severe damage has occurred.

  3. Stop the Water Source Immediately • Turn off water mains if needed. • Fix the source of the leak as quickly as possible to prevent additional water from entering the space. • Consider hiring a professional if you cannot identify or fix the issue yourself.

  4. Remove Standing Water Quickly • For large volumes of water, use a sump pump or wet-dry vacuum. • Mop up smaller areas or use towels for light water patches. • Bail out water manually if pumps aren't available, especially in basements.

  5. Open windows and doors to improve airflow. • Use dehumidifiers to extract moisture from the air. • Employ industrial fans to speed up the drying process in larger areas. Dry Out Affected Areas Thoroughly

  6. Inspect for Mold and Mildew • Check damp areas such as carpets, wood, and drywall. • If mold is spotted, use anti-microbial treatments to stop its spread. • Consult a professional for extensive mold infestations to ensure safe and complete removal

  7. Salvage and Remove Damaged Materials • Remove soaked carpets, insulation, and padding if they are not salvageable. • Cut away drywall that is soft or swollen from water exposure. • Salvage what you can—furniture, electronics, and documents may be dried and restored, depending on the extent of the water damage. 30% 70% www.wearemsi.com

  8. Disinfect the Area • Use professional-grade disinfectants or bleach solutions on surfaces that came into contact with the water. • Pay attention to hidden spots like baseboards, crevices, and any porous materials. • Disinfect any salvaged items to ensure they are clean and safe to reuse.

  9. Restore and Repair Damaged Areas • Replace damaged drywall, flooring, or ceilings. • Paint or refinish walls if they have been stained or warped. • Reinstall carpets or tiles if they were removed during the process. www.wearemsi.com
