Water damage can be a stressful and costly issue! If you're dealing with water damage, it's essential to act quickly to minimize the damage and prevent further issues like mold growth. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Stop the water source (if applicable)
2. Turn off electricity and gas to the affected area
3. Remove excess water with a wet/dry vacuum or towels
4. Dry the area completely with fans and dehumidifiers
5. Disinfect and clean the area
6. Repair or replace damaged materials (e.g., drywall, flooring)
7. Check for mold and address it promptly if found. 

Following the initial water damage it’s best to call your local restoration company, SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield to take care of any mitigation needs.
