It's best to have a plan of action financially and ensure you have the right coverage in your policy with your insurance carrier. 

5 Tips Dealing With Water Damage...

1. Turn off the water source: Usually water damage is caused by a broken pipe, broken water heater, etc. Knowing where your water main shut off is located is critical. Do you know where your water main shut off valve is located?
2. Safety First: Shut off the breakers, or unplug electrical devices in the affected areas. Make sure your kids, pets, or partner is away from any standing water.
3. Contact your insurance: Call to inform your insurance the situation and see how they'll approach the water removal and restoration process.
4. Protect your valuable possessions: Protect your valuable possessions first. Raise or set your furniture legs on aluminum foil or wooden blocks from the water as this can lead to mold or rot.
5. Work with SERVPRO:  It's so important to work with a professional restoration company like SERVPRO of Redondo/ Manhattan Beach. We have the proper industrial equipment to get the job done right and make it "Like it never even happened."
