Robinson Restoration, a Seattle-based disaster restoration company, has released a comprehensive emergency checklist designed to help homeowners take immediate action during the critical first hour after discovering water damage. The initiative comes as Pacific Northwest communities continue recovering from severe storms that prompted FEMA disaster declarations across multiple Washington counties.
The company’s new resource, Robinson Restoration’s Emergency Checklist for Water Damage, provides homeowners with step-by-step guidance for minimizing property damage and health risks during water emergencies. The checklist emphasizes the importance of the first 60 minutes following water damage discovery, when immediate actions can prevent thousands of dollars in escalating damage.
“Water damage progresses rapidly, transforming from a manageable situation to a structural crisis within hours,” said Tyler Robinson, owner of Robinson Restoration. “Our checklist empowers homeowners to take the right steps immediately while professional help is on the way. Those first actions can mean the difference between minor repairs and major reconstruction.”
The emergency checklist outlines critical first-hour actions including shutting off main water valves and electricity, assessing contamination levels, protecting valuables, documenting damage for insurance purposes, and contacting professional restoration services. The resource also educates homeowners about the three categories of water contamination, from clean water to hazardous black water, helping them understand associated health risks.
Robinson Restoration in Seattle maintains a 24-hour emergency response service with certified technicians arriving within 90 minutes of initial contact. The company’s IICRC-certified professionals utilize advanced moisture detection technology, industrial-grade water extraction equipment, and specialized drying systems that far exceed the capabilities of conventional household methods.
The timing of this resource release proves particularly relevant as Washington state continues addressing widespread storm damage. Recent severe weather events resulted in FEMA disaster declarations for King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, highlighting the ongoing vulnerability of Pacific Northwest properties to water damage.
Beyond immediate response protocols, the checklist provides guidance on insurance claim documentation and communication. The resource emphasizes the importance of prompt notification, thorough documentation, and accurate terminology when working with insurance adjusters to ensure proper coverage and avoid claim complications.
Robinson Restoration specializes in comprehensive disaster restoration services including water damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage cleanup, fire damage restoration, and structural rebuild services. The company follows strict IICRC standards and maintains partnerships with all major insurance carriers to streamline the claims process for affected homeowners.
The Seattle-based restoration company has served Pacific Northwest communities with emergency response services, combining technical expertise with advanced restoration technology. Their team of certified restoration specialists handles all aspects of water damage mitigation, from initial water extraction through complete structural drying and reconstruction when necessary.
