Water Damage Restoration In Your Anoka Home
There is not much worse than going down the stairs in your Anoka home and stepping down onto a wet floor where you expected a dry floor. Thousands experience water damage in their homes, whether it was from an overflowing toilet, a broken water heater, or a busted pipe. A water damage emergency can cost you in more than one way, so preventing it is your best option. There are tools and tips you can take heed of to help you avoid a disaster.
When water damage has occurred in your Anoka home already, the help of a professional remediation company is needed to clean up the mess properly. SERVPRO staff is trained and equipped to handle these situations, are We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.
The first thing you need to do during an emergency is to stop the flow of water. After you have found what is leaking, shut the water off to that appliance. If you are not sure, shut the water off to your entire home. You should then turn off the electricity at the fuse box. If you cannot get to it without wading in the water, stay out of the wet areas and call an electrician. Do what you can to document the damage for the insurance company.
Each water damage restoration job is different, so SERVPRO techs are careful when we enter each home to assess the damages. Some things we check for depending on the situation is looking at ceilings if affected to make sure they are not sagging. If they are, that means there is trapped water, and we need to punch weep holes to let it escape. We also make sure that light fixtures do not contain water. If they do, we do not turn them on.
Any other electrical hazards are checked for, and we look to see that electrical cords on our equipment are not damaged. We tape down cords or zip tie them together as we work so that no one trips over them. We check for any mold growth as we clean and restore your home as well.
