Water damage in your home is more than just a mess—if not handled quickly, it can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and costly repairs. Whether from a burst pipe, flood, or leaky roof, knowing what to do right away can make all the difference.
At Restoration Canada, we’re here 24/7 to help Toronto homeowners recover quickly and safely from water-related disasters.
Step 1: Stop the Water Source
If safe to do so, turn off the water supply. Shut off the main valve or isolate the leak. This step is critical to prevent further damage.
Step 2: Turn Off Electricity in Affected Areas
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If any outlets or electronics are exposed to water, turn off the power to that area at the breaker panel. Never touch wet wires or appliances.
Step 3: Begin Water Removal and Drying
The longer water sits, the worse the damage becomes. Use towels, mops, or a shop vacuum to remove standing water, and open windows to increase airflow.
💡Pro Tip: Professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers are essential for full drying. That’s where a certified restoration team like ours comes in.
