Water damage? Act fast.

Heavy rains or burst pipes?
Here’s what you should do in the event you have water damage in your home:

• Take immediate action to avoid the appearance and spread of mould, which can lead to health problems if it is not eliminated.
• If possible, shut off the water (i.e. plumbing leaks)
• Cut the power to the affected rooms
• Blot and mop up as much water as you can (do not use an electric appliance in a room that has water on the floor)
• Wipe down wet surfaces
• Dry out any cloth items, drapes, carpets or books
• Put valuable items or anything that was not damaged in a safe place
• In most cases, professional cleaners should be called in to dry out the rooms and their contents, dehumidify the affected areas and make sure there is no trace of mould.
