Safety first - Shut down the water mains and the electricity. Water is disastrous by itself, and you don't want electricity mixed in as well.
Find the source of water - finding the source of the water is important, because that's the first thing needed to be fixed when the restoration begins.
Call your insurance company - Ask them how to proceed, and if you don't know what's covered - that's a great question as well. You can also call a water damage restoration company who knows how to work with the insurance company who can help you as well.
Full inspection and planning - after the source of the water has been identified, the affected areas will be inspected and a restoration plan will be laid out according to the extent of damage, materials, and required steps for restoration. At this stage, you should also take as many photos as possible.
Water extraction and initial cleanup - removing all the water in the property will allow to dry the water damaged areas, and also see what needs to be scrapped due to water damage. The sooner you get to this stage, the better chances you have of minimizing the water damage.
Drying the property - After the water has been removed, extensive drying can start to dry your home top to bottom, as well as decreasing humidity and preventing potential mold growth.
Restoring the property - Removing material that can's be dried properly (drywalls, insulation, etc.), cleaning hard surfaces, and sanitizing them to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Final inspection and review - checking that the storm damage was fixed, that affected areas were cleaned, and that all areas have been treated against mold and prepared to withstand future storms.
Final restoration and repair - after cleaning and restoring everything, it's time to place the flooring, move the furniture back in, and enjoy your renewed and restored home.
