Damage from Water!!! Immediate Steps YOU Must Take!
If your home is damaged by water, there are some immediate steps YOU must take to begin the water cleanup process. Most of the damages can be minimized thereby reducing major expenses, by quick and timely action. Every delay is only going to make matters worse.
Any drying being done must be Done Right to see to it that there aren’t any environments which promote and allow hazardous materials to flourish, taking your home or business and turning it into a more problematic one that will only get bigger if not cared for.
AVOID THE HAZARDS! Be extremely careful of the deadly combination of water and electricity. Also be careful of slippery wet carpets and floors. Stay away from raw sewage backups, which can contain nasty bacteria and can be extremely harmful to your health.
STOP THE SOURCE! If you haven’t located the source of running water, call us immediately and we will guide you through the appropriate steps (It is crucial to know what to do!)
REMOVE FURNITURE! Wood furniture will cause stains which cannot be removed. Rust stains from metal are difficult to remove and may be permanent. Items that are not in direct contact with the water can still be damaged. This means, until the water and humidity are restored to normal, everything in the house must be removed. 95% of water damage jobs are restorable and most of the 5% which aren’t restored are caused by not doing this. So move all furniture that is even near water and place something under the legs.
TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION! 24 hour emergency response teams on call now. You will always be answered by a staff member. We will respond immediately and help you get back on track fast.
