Inspect the Affected Area

Once you have removed any standing water and dried out the affected area, it is essential to look over the area for damage. This will help you assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.

What to look for:

  • Structural damage: Look for any damage to the walls, floors, or ceiling. This may include cracks, holes, or warping.
  • Mold growth: Mold can grow in moist environments, so inspecting the affected area for mold growth is essential. Mold may appear as black, green, or white spots on surfaces.
  • Electrical damage: Look for any damage to electrical wiring, outlets, or switches. Do not operate electrical appliances or devices in areas damaged by water.
  • Personal belongings: Look for any personal belongings damaged by water. If possible, remove any damaged belongings from the affected area.

If you find any damage, please don’t hesitate to contact a professional water damage restoration company. 

Professional water damage restoration companies have the experience and expertise to assess and develop a plan to repair the damage.

Here are some additional tips for inspecting the affected area:

  • Wear gloves and boots to protect yourself from debris or mold in the area.
  • Use a flashlight to inspect dark areas.
  • If you find any mold growth, do not touch it. Mold can release spores into the air, which can cause health problems. Contact a professional water damage restoration company to remove the mold safely.
