Water damage, whether it’s a result of weather events or plumbing disasters, can be a costly and frustrating problem for homeowners. The key to minimizing the damage is swift action. Our team is here to guide you through the immediate steps you need to take when faced with water damage in your home.
Find the Source
Before you can stem the flood, you must find the source, and your response will differ depending on the source. Leaking pipes, a slab leak, a faulty roof, a leaky window, seepage at the foundation, septic backup, or a bathtub left running will need different responses. If the water is coming from the supply, turn off the water at the meter. As soon as possible, call Innovative Construction Solutions for emergency assistance.
Cut the Power
Next, if you face a flooding situation where outlets are underwater, cut the power to the home – as long as you can safely reach the breaker. If you can’t, contact the electric company. You should also have an electrician evaluate your home after everything dries before restoring the power.
Contact Your Insurance Provider
After ensuring everyone’s safety and attempting to stop the water flow, it’s crucial to reach out to your insurance agent. While you may not have coverage for acts of God, you should be covered for damage due to septic issues or plumbing disasters. Document everything meticulously, take numerous pictures, and await the arrival of your insurance company’s representative. This is another area where Innovative Construction Solutions can assist. We’re well-versed in the insurance claim process and regularly provide forensic analysis for them. Call us to evaluate your home and identify mold/mildew as soon as possible. It’s essential to contact an abatement specialist and mitigate the consequences swiftly.
Start Cleaning and Drying
You should begin removing all wet items as soon as it is safely possible. While you can dry and use some items, other things must be thrown away and replaced. Open the windows, bring in fans and humidifiers, and try to mop up the water as much as possible. The drier you can get your home, the better. Mold does not take long to begin growing.
Reach out to Innovative Construction Solutions
When the water issue is overwhelming, don’t hesitate to call us or another water damage repair provider. We have the know-how and the tools needed to help you recover faster and more thoroughly so that the damage to your home is limited.
Contact a Mold Removal Company (if needed)

Repair Damage
