Emergency Water Restoration Tips – A Survivor Guide!

Water damage can be caused due to variety of situations including: sewage or sump pump backups, ground water seepage, floods, broken water lines, hoses or valves in appliances such as dish washers, hot water heaters, washing machines and water softeners etc.

Time is most critical in water/flood damage. In 24 hours, fungi and bacteria will begin to grow and flourish. Every minute that passes could add to the amount of money and time it will take to fully restore what you have lost

before use). Do not wait to call for

professional help. Don’t wipe or attempt to

wash fire residues from walls, ceilings or other absorbent surfaces without professional assistance.

WHAT YOU SHOULDN’T DO

Clean your gutters routinely

Check your floors for water stains, particularly near dishwashers and sinks.

Look for bubbling paint or stains on your ceiling
