Water is an incredibly powerful force that can wreak havoc quickly. While water is essential for our daily lives, it can also cause chaos when it infiltrates our homes unexpectedly. Whether it’s caused by a flooded basement due to a malfunctioning water heater, a leaky roof from a storm or a sudden flash flood seeping through doors and windows, water damage can turn your life upside down.
While there are preventive measures to protect your home from water damage, some disasters are simply beyond our control. The good news is that our water damage restoration experts ready at SERVPRO of North Oklahoma City are to respond day or night to help you during such emergencies.
When faced with a water disaster, acting quickly is crucial to minimize the damage to your home. Water can find its way into hidden spaces, so locating the source and promptly drying the surrounding area will be key to regaining control. In the case of an internal issue like a leaking appliance, it’s essential to shut off the water flow immediately. Know the location of your water shut-off valves and electrical shut-offs to avoid accidents involving live wires.
Never attempt to wade through water with live electrical wires; always turn off the electricity at the source before proceeding. Once it’s safe, contact our experts at SERVPRO® for professional assistance. With 24⁄7 availability, they’ll take immediate action to reduce the overall damage to your home.
Once you reach out to our SERVPRO team, we will ask you a series of questions to assess your situation over the phone and then coordinate with your insurance company to streamline the recovery process. You should also take photos of the water and any resulting damage to document what has occurred, which will be invaluable for insurance claims.
Once this step is complete, our team will begin the process of drying out your home using advanced drying equipment that will remove all water, including droplets we can’t see. This will help ensure no lingering odors remain behind and that mold doesn’t follow water damage.
We have experience in facing water damage of all sizes and shapes, in residential homes and commercial buildings alike. When you need us, we can handle the disaster.
