Until help arrives...

Water damages occur spontaneously which is why they quickly cause structural damages. Yet there are numerous ways to minimize the damages until SERVPRO arrives on site:
- Shut off the main water line from your home or business if the cause of loss is a burst pipe.
- In case of a large flood, disconnect any appliances that are affected to prevent electrical issues.
- Begin removing standing water. The longer the water sits, the more damage it will cause.
- Place aluminum or wood blocks between furniture and carpet flooring to prevent staining.
Once SERVPRO crews are on site, the damages will be assessed, any standing water will be extracted, the necessary materials will be removed and equipment will be set to facilitate the drying process. Our crews will leave the job site as "if it never even happened."
