What can you do?
Although our team of water restoration experts can get things to preloss condition for you in no time, there are a few things that you can do to limit the damage. Assuming a SERVPRO team of experts is already on their way, here are a few things that you can do in the meanwhile.
- The first things to do is to find the source of flooding and cut the water at its source. Turn off the main water supply to your property
- Unplug your devices if it is safe to do so
- Make sure that you have a place for the restoration crew to keep your moved furniture
- It can be tempting to turn on heat or fan in an attempt to dry the carpet but avoid doing it. Turning fans or heat can do more damage than good
- Never use a home vacuum pump or a similar device to remove water by yourself. Staying safe is your priority.
