Tips to Stay Safe During Water Restoration

Nothing is more important than personal safety. Make sure you and your loved ones are clear of danger before and after you give us a call. We never want you to be hurt while trying to salvage your personal belongings. To help mitigate potential injury, here is a short a list of tips to follow during the water damage restoration process.

  • Don't use a household vacuum to remove water
  • Turn off electricity before removing possessions
  • Watch for contaminated water or sewage and stay away!
  • Avoid rooms with exposed wiring or standing water
  • Discard porous items such as rugs and other textiles since these will harbor bacteria and mold

The Right Drying Approach for Every Structure & Material

Drying a home suffering from water damage is never a "one-size-fits-all" situation. Every home has unique features and belongings that require the right drying technique to ensure they are clean and safe to use or handle once again. Here are some insights for flood restoration with different structures and types of material:

  • Subflooring with water damage should be replaced. Any plywood and OSB affected by water is probably going to swell.
  • Wood flooring should be assessed board by board. To keep boards from buckling, they need to be individually removed, cleaned, and dried. Any boards that are severely damaged will need to be replaced.
  • Tile flooring set on concrete can be left to dry after water is extracted.
  • Drywall has to be carefully evaluated and effectively dried since it can easily become a safe haven for mold.
  • Furniture will need to be evaluated in terms of how porous its materials are and how severe the water damage is. This will determine how to clean it properly and whether it can be salvaged.

While we can deliver these kinds of exceptional offerings to our residential customers, our commercial customers can also expect solutions that help them get their businesses back up and running quickly. Our commercial pre-loss planning is just one of the services businesses owners can take advantage of with ServiceMaster Professional Services.
