How to Manage Water Damage
1/24/2024 (Permalink)
A flooded basement, a burst pipe, a clogged drain, or an appliance malfunction- all issues that can put a damper on the safety and usability of your residential or commercial property. Here are three tips to help you manage water damage-
1. Act quickly- Time is of the essence when dealing with water damage. The longer the water sits, the more damage it does. First and foremost make sure everyone in the house or building is safe and not near the water. Next, identify and promptly shut off the water source. Remove or unplug any nearby wet electronics. Mold can begin growing in as little as 24 hours so it’s important to act fast.
2. Assess the Extent of the Damage- Once you identify the source of the water, look to see what other areas are affected. It’s also advised to identify any potential hazards. This initial analysis will help SERVPRO Team McCabe to tailor a mitigation plan specific to your case and get you the best possible care and services possible.
