What should I do if my home has water damage?

1/30/2018 (Permalink)

There are some simple steps you can take until help arrives:

• If the source of the water is still leaking, Identify the source and stop it if you can.
• If the water is coming from a burst or leaking pipe, turn off the water at its source.
• If the water is coming through the roof or broken window, try to cover them to prevent further damage. 
• Move wet items or drier areas.
• Place aluminum foil coasters or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.
• Save damaged items and any parts you may need to replace - your claim representative may want to inspect them. 
• Do not use electrical equipment or appliances while standing on wet carpets or floors.
• To document the damage, make a list of the temporary repairs you make and take photographs.
• Make sure to save your receipts.
