Water leaks in your home can lead to significant damage if not addressed promptly. When water seeps into your walls, floors, and ceilings, it can cause structural damage, weaken the foundation, and create an environment conducive to mold growth. By taking immediate action when you discover a water leak, you can mitigate these risks and protect your home and health. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to handling water leaks, from identifying the source to ensuring your home is dry and mold-free.

The first step is to turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. Next, locate the source of the leak, and if it’s not easily found, consider professional help from EnviroPro 360. Document the damage for insurance purposes, remove standing water using a wet/dry vacuum, and thoroughly dry the area with fans and dehumidifiers. Conduct a mold inspection, especially if the water was present for more than 48 hours, and begin remediation with professional assistance if necessary. Throughout the process, use a moisture meter to monitor levels and ensure complete dryness. Follow-up mold testing is essential to confirm the effectiveness of the remediation and ensure a healthy living environment.
