When you wake up and realize a pipe has burst in the basement or you come home from a long weekend to see the sink was left on in the bathroom and you are left with an overflowing tub --what should you do? 

The endgame is to call a professional. But, the best way to clean up a water damage is to stop it before it even starts.

Water damage is tricky. Water damage begins to turn into mold damage within 48 hours. When mold damage is present the cost can double. 

The best way to clean up a water damage is to find out how it can happen before it even begins in your home or business. 

When you are about to leave home for a long weekend, double check every faucet and spigot inside and around your home. It also does not hurt to have someone come check on your home while you are away. 

During winter months make sure to drip water faucets so that the water does not freeze and then expand as soon as the pipes unthaw which causes them to burst. 

Be aware when leaving your home or when the weather changes. These are the best ways to clean up water damage --stop it before it even starts!
