What to Do When Water Damage Hits in Lovettsville

  1. Shut off the HVAC if return ducts run through wet areas. Blowing air through contaminated ductwork spreads the problem through your whole Lovettsville house.
  2. Do not run the dishwasher, washer, or showers until the source is identified. Adding more water to a Lovettsville home with an active leak compounds every problem.
  3. Do not tear out drywall or flooring yourself before the adjuster sees it. Unauthorized demolition can complicate or reduce your Virginia insurance claim.
  4. Shut off the water at the main valve if the source is plumbing. Then kill power to wet areas at the breaker. Do not step into standing water until the power is off.
  5. Prop up furniture on blocks or foil to keep legs out of water. Lovettsville restoration techs do this on arrival, but every hour before that counts against your furniture.
  6. Kill electricity to wet areas at the breaker panel. Label the breakers today so you are not guessing in the dark during a Lovettsville emergency. Water and current are a lethal combination.
