Although you won’t be waiting long, there are few things you can do before our water damage experts reach your location to stop more water damage from

occurring.

Finding the problem

If the water was caused by a broken pipe or a leaky appliance, make sure you can stop the leak by shutting off the water supply. If it was run-off from water outside, see if you can stop the water from coming inside.

Turn off the power

If possible, turn off the power to your basement. Homeowners often fail to think about the possibilities of electrical accidents when their homes flood. If you cannot turn off your power without stepping in water contact your power company and ask them to turn the power off at the meter.

When the water damage restoration experts from Swift Restoration arrive they will assess the situation and put an action plan in place to remove all off the excess moisture in your basement. Swift Restoration has equipment to help extract the water efficiently so that your home can begin drying.

It is important to start the cleaning and restoration process as soon as the water is discovered. Damage to flooring and drywall can occur quickly and if left untreated mold will start to grow.
