Water Damage Repair and Restoration

Water Damage Restoration: What to Do After a Loss

When you're dealing with a water leak, pipe burst, or flood, there are a lot of things that can feel overwhelming. You might be worried about how you're going to clean up, or if your belongings will be salvageable after the water subsides. But one thing you shouldn't be afraid of is calling in the experts!

We know from experience that flooding can happen to anyone—and when it does, our water cleanup process includes:

  • Mopping up standing water
  • Removing any damaged or contaminated items
  • Cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces, carpets, and furniture
  • Drying out all affected areas of your home or business until they are completely dry 

Water Damage Can Be Incredibly Expensive to Clean Up

And it's not something you have to deal with on your own. Here are some tips for how to handle water damage cleanup:

1. Don't touch anything! Call in the experts.

2. Don't use fans or air conditioners while your home is wet—it'll just push the moisture around and make things worse!

3. Don't cut corners on hiring an expert: many companies will charge you more than what they're worth or leave behind materials that could lead to mold growth later on down the road.

If you are in need of water damage cleanup and restoration services, don't hesitate and give our SERVPRO® team a call today!
