Water damage happens—floods, plumbing leaks, broken pipes, storms, sewage backups, fires, and appliance malfunctions can all cause unexpected water-related destruction in your home or business. The extent of the loss caused by water damage, however, depends largely on the speed and effectiveness of water damage cleanup and restoration. When the worst happens, follow these steps to water damage restoration and get back to normal as soon as possible.

What To Do First

• The first step in successful water damage restoration is to contact emergency restoration professionals, like the experts at ServiceMaster of Prescott.

• We take control of your situation. By inspecting and assessing the water damage, restoration professionals are able to determine the most effective way to cleanup the mess before more damage can be done.

• Once we have a plan, we will remove and extract as much water as possible to mitigate and prevent further mold and water damage to your property.

• Next, our restoration team will dry and dehumidify the area to further remove water and moisture from the area.

• Once the area is dry, we will then clean and sanitize so that you can begin the restoration process with a clean start.

• Finally, our team will repair damage as necessary to complete the successful water damage restoration process.
