SERVPRO Can Rapidly Remove Water from Your Tega cay Home to Limit Water Damage

Although no residential property owner in Tega Cay wants to deal with water damage, it is likely that you'll find yourself grappling with the issue at some point. Since this is the case, it's important that you know what to do in the event that your property is subjected to water damage. Here are the steps you should take after the initial water damage:

1. Turn The Water Source Off.

Turning off the source of water is the first step you should take after you learn that your property has been impacted by water damage. In some cases, you can shut off the valve at the plumbing fixture or appliance. If the water damage is significant enough, you may need to shut off the main shut-off valve on the property. All household members should know where to shut off the water source entering the house. Shutting off the source of water because of a burst pipe or appliance failure reduces the amount of water that affects your property. Less water to extract from your property translates into less water damage and fewer costs to you. 

2. Call a Water Damage Restoration Professional.

Your next move should be to call a water damage restoration professional from SERVPRO. These experts will be able to provide you with the thorough, services necessary to get your property back in good condition. We will arrive at your property in Tega Cay usually within one hour of your call. An inspection and assessment will set the tone for offering the best plan of action for the water removal. Upon agreement, furniture and other household items in harm’s way will be removed. Water pumps and wet-vacs start the water extraction process. The drying continues with the use of powerful air movers, and various dehumidifiers--both refrigerant and chemical types are available. If there is any significant amount of standing water inside your home, please do not attempt DIY efforts. The standing water wicks rapidly and each minute increases the likelihood of further water damage to your possessions.
