Move fast. Dry it right.

The first 24 hours are critical

Turn off the water, get the standing water out, and start drying before it soaks into your walls and floors.

The DIY restoration process

A clear plan from water loss to dry-down.

01

Stop the water first

Turn off the water supply, flip the breaker if there's any chance of electrical danger, and take photos of everything before you touch it.

02

Find out what equipment you need

Answer a few simple questions about your room size and how wet things are. We'll tell you exactly which machines to rent.

03

Run the equipment and check daily

Set up the fans and dehumidifier, check the moisture levels each day, and keep things running until your home is fully dry.
