Port Charlotte floods or leaks in your home it require immediate attention
Anytime Port Charlotte water floods or leaks into your home it requires immediate attention to minimize further loss and damage. You may be surprised to hear that people who call Southwest
Florida water damage restoration companies about a plumbing leak do not know how to shut off the water in their own home. Everyone, including renters, should know where the main shut off is for the
Central Florida water in your home. So the first step on a Port Charlotte plumbing leak is to shut off the water. When the source of a Port Charlotte plumbing leak is behind a wall or in the
ceiling call a plumber to fix the problem. Call a reputable local Port Charlotte water damage extraction and drying company to remove the water and dry all building materials and personal
possessions that may have been wet by the Port Charlotte leak. While you are waiting for the drying company to arrive move what you are able to into an unaffected room and protect valuables,
delicate items and important documents. Pick what ever you can up off the wet floors. Call your insurance company and report the loss. Take lots of pictures for your insurance adjuster.
Most important is that standing Port Charlotte water must be extracted and wet materials must be dried out completely and as quickly as possible. Wet carpeting, wood and drywall are a breeding
ground for viruses, bacteria and Port Charlotte mold. Port Charlotte Mold can begin to grow on wet building materials and personal possessions in as little as 24 to 48 hours. The Southwest
Florida water damage extraction and drying company will remove most of the water by extraction and then complete the drying process with air movement and dehumidification. Once the humidity in a
wet home is stabilized at 55% or less, Port Charlotte mold will not grow.
