• Electricity – The electricity should be powered off whenever water damage occurs. Whenever a power failure occurs on occurrence of events such as floods, the electricity may suddenly come back on resulting in damage to various electronic equipment. At times it may also result in a short circuit, or worse result in a fire.
• Walls – In the event of water damage from a flood or burst pipe, people should examine their walls carefully in order to determine the extent of water damage. If sheetrock or drywall is exposed to moisture for a long duration, it will result in mold growth if not dried out quick enough.
• Gas – The gas should be turned off when water damage takes place.
• Pictures – Whenever events such as floods take place, people should document the loss with plenty of pictures of their house and contents in order to file a claim with their insurance company. Any items damaged in the loss will be covered by your insurance company and having proof is the first step.
• The excess of water present inside the home of a person should be drained out of the house. If water damage is caused by sewage water or river water or salty water, then carpets have to be discarded and replaced with new ones for health reasons. If there is a large amount of standing water, a pump should be used in order to drain out the excess water from the structure. Wet/dry vacuums can also be used to perform the task of draining out water, but generally should only be used for a small amount of excess water.
