What to Do in Case of Water Damage
1.
Safety First
Before taking any action, prioritize safety for yourself and your family. Identify potential hazards such as electrical issues, structural damage, or contaminated water. Turn off the main power supply if there are electrical appliances or outlets in contact with water, and exercise caution when navigating wet surfaces to avoid accidents.
2.
Stop the Water Source
If you can identify the source of the water damage, such as a burst pipe or leaking appliance, shut off the water flow to prevent further damage and potential flooding. Locate the shut-off valve for the affected area or, if necessary, shut off the main water supply to your home. Taking this action swiftly will help prevent further water damage and potential flooding.
3.
Document the Damage
While it may be distressing to witness water damage in your home, it’s important to document the extent of the damage for insurance purposes. Use your smartphone or camera to take clear photographs or videos that capture the affected areas from different angles. This visual evidence will be valuable when filing an insurance claim and seeking compensation for repairs and restoration.
4.
Call the Experts
For professional water damage cleanup and restoration, contact ExactRecon immediately. Our team can arrive on the scene within one hour, assess the damage, and take necessary action. We handle the insurance claim process and have the expertise, equipment, and experience to manage the drying, cleaning, and repair processes effectively.
5.
Mitigate Further Damage
While awaiting professional help, you can take initial steps to mitigate additional damage. Safely move items and furniture from the affected area to prevent further harm and use plastic sheets or tarps to protect unaffected areas from water seepage. Remove standing water with mops, towels, or a wet-dry vacuum and improve ventilation by opening windows and doors.
6.
Ensure Proper Drying and Cleaning
When our professionals arrive, they’ll initiate the drying and cleaning process using high-powered equipment. This includes dehumidifiers and air movers to extract moisture from walls, floors, and furniture. Eliminating all moisture is crucial to prevent mold growth and secondary damage. Our team will also sanitize and disinfect surfaces to restore a safe and healthy living environment.
Pipes Burst. Water Damage Happens. We can help
With over 17 years of experience in water damage cleanup, ExactRecon has handled everything from partially wet rooms to entirely flooded houses or basements. We have helped individuals and large businesses in the southern Michigan area get back up and running quickly, and we can do the same for you.
In addition to our expertise and experience, we have the most technologically advanced drying equipment in the industry. We use water vacuum machines to remove as much water as possible, as quickly as possible, to prevent water damage from spreading any further. We also set up high-volume air movers and low-grain dehumidifiers, the latest advance in drying equipment. (Low-grain dehumidifiers leave fewer grains of water in the air than older dehumidifiers do, which will dry your home and belongings much faster.)

What Not to Do
Don’t Call Your Insurance Company
Avoid contacting your insurance company directly. Trust our experts to handle this on your behalf. We will communicate with the insurance company and meet with the inspector to explain the damage accurately, increasing the likelihood of an approved claim.
Don’t Attempt DIY Cleanup
Water damage cleanup can be hazardous and ineffective without the proper equipment and knowledge. Let our professionals handle the process, from moving out your possessions to thorough drying, preventing mold or bacteria growth.
Don’t Delay
Time is critical when dealing with water damage. The longer it sits, the more damage can occur. Prompt action is essential to mitigate the damage and initiate a swift recovery.
