What To Do Until Professional Help Arrives

3/18/2020 (Permalink)

f you have water damage from a clean source such as water supply lines, sink overflows, tub overflows, or appliance malfunctions, here are some things to do before SERVPRO arrives.

• Shut off the source of the water.

• Turn off circuit breakers for wet areas of the building if the access panel is safe from electrical shock.

• Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting

• Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removing lamps and tabletop items

• Remove and prop up wet upholstery cushions for even drying

• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting

• Remove to a safe, dry place any paintings, art objects, computers, documents and other materials that are valuable or sensitive to moisture.

• Use wooden clothespins to keep furniture skirting off damp floors

• Hang draperies with coated hangers to avoid contact with wet carpeting or floors

We're available and can respond 24/7/365. Please call 870-934-0501 in case of an emergency.

Remember, It's the water you can't see that causes mold and rot in your home or business. Allow us to use moisture meters to check everywhere. It's less expensive to handle a fresh water damage than to complete mold remediation.
