Water Damage Restoration in Spokane

A common cause of unexpected flooding is on cold nights when your pipes freeze, water expands, and a pipe burst. Significant amounts of water in this situation and others can cause mold infestation, rot, and warping. 

Here are some steps to take before our experts arrive:

• Turn off the main valve: This is easily the most critical step when you notice flooding caused by your plumbing system. Turn off the water supply and flip breakers for that electrical area. Your shutoff valve is typically a blue or red handle found outside of your home or in the basement.
• Reach out to All in 1 Restoration: Calling our professionals as soon as possible during an emergency limits damage. We’re here for you 24/7 with responses within the hour, so you don’t continue to watch your space flood.
• Remove the water: Try to clean up as much water as possible before we arrive. The less water absorbed by floors and materials, the easier and quicker the restoration process will be. However, don’t put yourself in dangerous situations if the flooding is uncontrollable or you cannot turn off the shut-off valve.
• Open doors & windows: Increasing air circulation is critical, especially if it’s a warm summer night. This helps dry the water throughout your space. If a freeze causes the pipe to burst, you can turn the heat up and use fans to circulate hot air.
