Step 1: Assess the Water Source
Identify whether the water is clean, gray, or black. Proper classification ensures safe cleanup and prevents health hazards.
Step 2: Extract Standing Water Quickly
Use pumps, vacuums, or professional extraction tools. Delays can lead to:
- Warped wood
- Swollen drywall
- Mold growth
Step 3: Dry and Dehumidify
Drying is critical. Dehumidifiers and air movers help restore normal moisture levels, preventing secondary damage.
Step 4: Clean and Sanitize
Especially for gray or black water, thorough cleaning reduces bacteria and odor. Professionals can ensure surfaces and contents are safe.
Step 5: Monitor and Restore
Even after water removal, ongoing monitoring ensures no hidden moisture remains. Repairs may include replacing drywall, flooring, or insulation.
