A storm has just subsided. Luckily, your family took the necessary precautions to avoid injury, but there is still a chance that your home suffered from storm or water damages. Whether it be flooding, backed up sewage, or damage from fallen debris, if there is any major damage to your home, call SERVPRO of Toledo West and let our pros handle your stress. Before we arrive, there are a few things you can do to start fixing up your home.
- Clean up tree debris from your yard and around your home. This one is by far the easiest, and the branches and sticks can easily be thrown away, or used for something like firewood or compost. Your kids and pets may even be able to help you with this one, too. If a branch or tree has fallen against your house and caused damage, go ahead and call SERVPRO of Toledo West to have it quickly, and expertly repaired.
- Dry out your house. Mold can grow quickly after water has entered a home, so it is important to clean up any standing water and dry-off surfaces as soon as possible.
- If you see any damage involving sewage, live wires, or possible gas leaks, don’t try and fix it yourself! Immediately call the experts at SERVPRO of Toledo West to solve this issue for you.
The most important thing you can do is be safe. If you feel unqualified, or you rather let the experts handle it, don’t hesitate to call in our pros.
