When water damage strikes your Spokane home, every minute counts. Whether it's from a burst pipe, flooding, or severe weather, knowing the right steps to take can mean the difference between a manageable restoration and extensive property damage. At STOP Restoration, we're here to guide you through those crucial first moments and provide professional emergency water damage restoration services in Spokane when you need them most.
Immediate Steps to Take
The first priority in any water emergency is ensuring your safety. Before entering your property, you must verify that it's safe to do so. Watch for potential electrical hazards, contaminated water, structural damage, and slipping hazards. If you're unsure about safety conditions, it's essential to wait for professional assessment.
Once you've confirmed it's safe to proceed, locate and stop the water source if possible. For pipe bursts, this means turning off the main water supply. In cases of weather-related flooding, clear any accessible gutters and drains, and move valuable items to higher ground if flooding is ongoing.
