About this episode

This episode discusses how to handle water damage emergencies in homes with expert advice from Rakesh of United Water Restoration Group.

In this episode, we sit down with Rakesh from United Water Restoration Group of South Florida to talk about real-life water damage emergencies—and how to respond before things go from bad to worse. From how to find your home’s main water shut-off valve to whether or not to call your insurance company first, we break down practical steps every homeowner (and real estate agent) should know. Plus, we cover what restoration contractors actually do and why it’s better to call them sooner rather than later. If you’ve never thought about what water damage looks like behind the scenes—or want to make sure your clients are prepared—this episode is a must-listen.
