Initial Steps

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) suggests taking the following initial steps to restore your home:

• Stay away from contaminated water or electrical hazards
• If safe to do so, turn off circuit breakers supplying electricity to the wet area and unplug and remove small appliances from wet rooms
• Move furniture or raise on blocks to prevent moisture absorption and staining

DRI is trained to assess and repair damage caused by the water. We can also locate hidden damage to ceilings, walls and contents caused by moisture in structural components.
