Disconnect Outlets
The first thing to do when you discover water damage in your home is to unplug all electronics immediately?
If there are a lot of wires behind the counter, you could be in trouble. Take note of the power source so you can call your service provider. Water is water. All electronics attached to the water are at risk. If it is the fridge, take out the doors. Once the water is drained, open the faucet to check the problem is out.

Check Dry Wall For Water
Some states require that homeowners install water softeners to reduce mineral content. If you live in one of those states you probably already have a water softener in your home but you may not realize it.
Remove Damaged Materials?
If the materials that are damaging the house, are small, it is usually not as damaging as that of an entire house, and therefore you might be able to deal with it easily, and without major projects.
Disinfect Remaining Areas?
If you have a septic system, or you’re thinking about getting one, you may want to disinfect the remaining drain fields before you put anything in them. You may not be aware of it, but the soil in your drain fields can have harmful organisms that can negatively affect your plumbing system.
These organisms can cause clogged drain fields, or it could even cause your plumbing system to back up. It is a good idea to disinfect these areas since you can’t see them, but you may not be aware of the need to disinfect them, since you’re not putting anything down them. The danger of allowing the drain fields to remain untreated is too great. Contact Emergency Water Damage in Portland for fast service.
