When water damage strikes call the experts at SERVPRO of Braun Station

Water damage in your home can certainly be a nightmare, which is why it’s important to know what to do in the event of a disaster striking your property.

Whenever your pipes burst or your toilet overflows, water damage becomes a grave threat to your home. Here are a few tips for handling a water-related emergency on your property:

• Check Your Insurance Policy: While most homeowner’s insurance policies cover water damage, many do not cover flood damage. Most likely, you have a separate insurance policy to cover flood damage. Discover the source of the water in your home, and file your insurance claim with the right company.
• Act Quickly: If water damage is not cleaned up quickly, your property will be more vulnerable to developing a buildup of toxic mold or mildew. To preserve your health and prevent your property from incurring further damage, hire the professionals to perform water extraction services within 24 to 48 hours.
• Monitor The Pollution Level: The type of water that has flooded or damaged your home will make a difference regarding health risks and cleanup measures. Water from a fresh source, such as a dishwasher, will be less hazardous than water from a toilet, which contains dangerous bacteria and contaminants. Make sure you let the professionals know the source of your water damage, so they can handle the issue appropriately.
