Water Damage Got You Down?
What to Do?
Has your home been the victim of a leaky roof pipe or clogged toilet? Water can cause an incredible amount of damage throughout your home. Excess water can ruin all of your valuable items, furniture and just about anything else in its path. No one is ever prepared for that sudden pipe burst, however, you can take precautionary measures to help insure against a leak or flood. The quicker you spot the problem, the less work you give the water restoration technician. You should always remain calm and collected at all times of a water damage crisis. You need to quickly take control of the situation, while help arrives. Your main concern should always be safety, and how to avoid contact with any electrical appliances that have been damaged or affected by the water. If you have any small children present, make sure that they’re completely out of any danger. Safety is the key word here.
It may take a little while before the water restoration technician arrives. If the damage has occurred at night, it’s highly recommended that you go to a friend or relative’s house during a water crisis. The last place you want to be is stuck inside a wet and dangerous house. If the water damage has occurred during the day, you can just calmly wait outside your place. There are still a few things you can do before the technician arrives. The first and most important thing you can do is remove any excess water, by mopping and blotting the affected areas. You can also gather up any rugs, carpets, and other important valuables to prevent them from any further damage. Always play it safe, and avoid any areas where there might be an electrical current or wiring.
