Anaheim CA Emergency Water Damage

In the event of emergency water damage, it is important to begin water damage restoration operations as soon as possible.  Water can be incredibly damaging, even more so than fire in many cases, and worse, it can continue to wreak havoc on your home for as long as it is allowed to stand.  In addition, new problems such as mold can set in within 48 hours, bringing with it any number of health concerns and proving extraordinarily difficult to remediate.

Firstly, if possible, locate the source of the water and shut it off….this will not only stop any additional water from coming in, but should also give you a pretty good clue as to the type of water you are dealing with.  It is important to determine if the flood water contains contaminants which may be harmful to humans.  Keep in mind that even the cleanest water may become contaminated over time.

The excess water will need to be extracted from the home.  This is done through the use of pumps or wet-dry vacs.   Most of the water may be removed in this manner, but not all of it.  Surfaces will be wet to the touch, so you will need to open all windows and doors, and utilize fans, blowers, and dehumidifiers to remove the residual moisture.  This process may take a day or two, but make sure everything is completely dry.
