What To Do When Water Damage Happens?
Dealing with water damage can be overwhelming—especially when it happens suddenly. If you're experiencing active flooding, here's what to do:
Step 1: Locate the Source & Turn Off Your Water
If water is actively entering your home, find and shut off your main water supply. This can prevent additional damage. Ensure the area is safe to enter before taking action.
Step 2: Turn Off Your Power
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Even a minor leak can escalate quickly. As a precaution, shut off your electricity at the breaker box—but only if it's safe to do so.
Step 3: Call a Reputable Water Damage Company
Reach out to Total Restoration of Central Connecticut immediately. Our 24/7 team will respond quickly, stop the source, extract water, start drying, and prevent mold. We also coordinate with your insurance company from day one.
Step 4: Remove Any Valuables (If Possible)
If it's safe and the water isn't contaminated, move valuables away from the affected area. If you suspect sewage or electrical hazards, wait for our professionals to handle the situation safely.

- Sudden & Accidental Events: Such as burst pipes or appliance malfunctions.
- Storm Damage: Wind, hail, frozen plumbing, or lightning-induced damage.

What Are The Different Types of Water Damage?
The IICRC defines three water damage categories, based on the level of contamination:
- Category 1 – Clean Water: Comes from sanitary sources like water lines or overflowing sinks. Safe if promptly addressed, but can worsen if left untreated.
- Category 2 – Grey Water: Contains contaminants and can cause discomfort or illness. Sources include appliance discharges or minor toilet overflows.
- Category 3 – Black Water: Highly contaminated and hazardous. Comes from sewage backups, floodwaters, or standing water with microbial growth. Requires specialized PPE and remediation.
Avoid all contact with unknown water sources. Always call a trained professional like Total Restoration
