DIY Water Damage Cleanup Tips

Leaky roofs, burst pipes, floods and other sources may cause water damage problems in your home.  Having even the slightest bit of water damage can lead to countless repairs that you’ll have to deal with in the future. If water invades your property, our flood mitigation and cleanup experts at SERVPRO of East Greenville County state that you need to get hold of the situation quickly before everything gets out of control.  Over the next week, we will be posting water restoration tips that can help to manage the extent of the damage water can cause.

Be Careful With Live Electricity

When you discover that water is compromising your home, it’s important to focus on safety first.  There are many things to consider before any action should be taken.  First, be sure to switch off the power and turn off the electricity in your home to avoid getting shocked.  Also, be sure not to use a vacuum clean to try and clean up the water.

If part of the flooding has been caused by a broken sewer line, act quickly and get your family into a safe place in the meanwhile before the professionals do their work to avoid getting sick.  Also, if the cause of the water damage is due to a burst pipe, find the source and fix it before it causes more problems.
