- Look for roof, window and siding openings.
- Check interior ceilings, walls and lower levels for water entry.
- Document temporary protection and all damaged areas.
When to call for help
Contact a restoration professional when damage is active, utilities may be unsafe, contamination is possible, materials remain wet, mould is visible or the affected area is larger than a simple surface cleanup.
