Water damage can be one of the most serious and potentially destructive things that can happen to your home.

What Causes Water Damage?
The following are some of the most common causes of water damage:
- Plumbing leaks (including burst or broken pipes/hoses)
- Severe weather and flooding
- Appliance leaks (such as refrigerators, water heaters, washing machines)
- A clogged toilet
- A leaking roof
- Foundation cracks
- Moisture trapped between walls and ceilings
What Is Water Mitigation?
Once water damage has occurred, the best way to stop it is through water mitigation. Simply put, water mitigation is the process of preventing or reducing the amount of water damage that may continue to degrade your home. By taking fast action and contacting ServiceMaster South Shore, you can prevent additional damage and cost that may be incurred if you try to handle the problem entirely by yourself.
What To Do If You’re In The Middle of A Loss
If your property has experienced water damage, the following are some of the best ways to safely perform water mitigation before professionals technicians arrive:
- Immediately call for professional help to avoid further water damage and bacteria-growth (all of which can occur in a matter of hours)
- Remove as much water as you can by continually mopping and blotting.
- Move photos, paintings, and art objects to a safe, dry location (or at least a higher location than the floor and source of the water).
- Open all drawers, closets, and cabinets to enhance drying.
- Remove wet area rugs, floor coverings, and any furniture not directly affected by water.
- Lift draperies and curtains from the floor, loop through a coat hanger, and hang them off of a drapery rod if they cannot be easily removed from the affected area.
- Wipe furniture and place aluminum foil under furniture legs.
