Being Prepared For a Water Emergency

5/4/2016 (Permalink)

By having a plan to deal with water damage emergencies, it can decrease the extent of the damage and shorten the time frame to restore your home.

As a general rule, emergencies and catastrophes happen when they are least expected. However, just because they weren't expected at the moment they occurred does not mean we cannot be prepared for them. This is especially true when it comes to dealing with a water damage emergency. By having a plan to deal with water damage emergencies, it can decrease the extent of the damage and shorten the time frame to restore your home. Therefore it should be essential to sit down and write out the specific steps that should be taken not just for water emergencies, but all emergencies.

At the heart of this plan should be a list of professionals that can be called to assist with the rescue and recovery of this emergency. The most obvious of these will be the people who can stop the crisis from continuing. For instance, it would be ideal to call the water department and or fire department to shut off the water if a busted pipe is causing your basement to flood and was causing a water damage emergency. Once the reasons of the emergency have been contained, it is time to call the next professional on the list. That would hopefully be the insurance adjuster to assess the damage the emergency has caused and will get the process of paying for the repairs moving in a positive direction.

If you are dealing with a water emergency, the extent of the damage could be extensive and is often beyond the capabilities of even the best DIY homeowner.
