What should I do if my home has water damage?

10/31/2017 (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 to 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.
