Water Damage Cleanup Assessing and Dealing with Specific Damage

What to do about water damage in walls?

Water damage in walls can be a serious problem that can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and other health hazards. If you have water damage in your walls, it is important to take action quickly to assess the damage and begin the cleanup process.

**Here are some steps to follow when dealing with water damage in walls:**

  1. Identify the source of the water damage. This could be a broken pipe, a leaking roof, or a flood.
  2. Stop the source of the water damage. If possible, turn off the water supply or repair the leak.
  3. Remove any standing water. Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove as much water as possible from the walls and floors.
  4. Open up the walls to allow them to dry. Remove any drywall or other materials that are wet or damaged.
  5. Use a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air. This will help to prevent mold growth.
  6. Clean and disinfect the walls. Once the walls are dry, clean them with a bleach solution to kill any mold or bacteria.
  7. Repair the walls. Once the walls are clean and dry, you can begin to repair them. This may involve replacing drywall, painting, or other repairs.

If the water damage is extensive, it is important to contact a professional water damage cleanup company. They will have the experience and equipment to safely and effectively clean up the damage and prevent further problems.
