The Do’s and Don’t’s of Water Damage

12/17/2021 (Permalink)

Experiencing a water damage at your home or business can be a very stressful situation, causing safety, structural, and contents concerns simultaneously.  All too often, damages may occur with little or no warning, and as the saying goes “at the worst possible time” including holidays, odd hours, and weekends.  To help alleviate some of the stress that goes along with water damage, SERVPRO of North Pensacola offers 24/7/365 emergency response, allowing us to mitigate the loss and reduce the overall amount of damage sustained more quickly.  After notifying us of your loss, we suggest the follow “do’s” and “do not’s” to follow until our team arrives:

DO:

• Remove excess water with mops or towels
• Wipe water from wooden furniture
• Hang rugs to dry
• Move artwork and valuables to a dry, safe location

DO NOT:

• Plug in or use any electrical devices in rooms with standing water
• Enter any rooms that have sagging ceilings
• Attempt to lift any large waterlogged materials, as they may be too heavy to handle
