Damage repair after flood.

Whether it’s from pooled up storm waters or a leaky pipe, a flood in your home can create serious damage. While there’s not much you can do before help arrives here are some general tips to keep in mind when facing that situation. 

First, avoid moving water. Even though water may look fine from a distance, it could contain contaminated substances such as gas, oil, or raw sewage. Do not try to wade through it, especially in your house. Additionally, there could be other dangers that you cannot see through the water that you will want to avoid.  

Call for help. Whether you need to first alert authorities or immediately call a professional, do not try to handle the situation on your own.
