If You Have Water Damage Right Now
The guide is written for someone deciding who to hire, which is a slightly different situation from someone standing in a wet room. If water is active, the useful sequence is to shut off the main, cut power to any area where water is near outlets or fixtures, photograph everything before moving it, and then call.
Our water damage restoration page sets out the full process, and it includes a mitigation cost estimator built on published national cost data, which is worth a look before you speak to anyone about price.
