If you discover water damage in your home or business, call SERVPRO of Talladega, Clay & Randolph Counties right away.
Water is such a strong source. We do everything we can to control it in our homes, pumping it through pipes to switch it on at the wave of a hand. If you have ever been to the ocean, you know the true strength that the raw, natural form of water has.
We can’t live without it, but when water gets out of control, it can create great disasters, sneaking into even the most hidden places of our homes and completely changing our lives. Alabama has seen its share of flooding over the years, and our counties are no exception. Heavy rains, tornadoes and spring showers are common sources of flooding that have left streets under water and homes ruined throughout our town.
You can do a lot of preparation work in order to protect your home from water, but there are some disasters that simply cannot be stopped. The good news is that with water damage restoration specialist, your home can be put back together fast.
Should your home suffer from a disaster that leaves behind floodwaters, the faster you move, the less damage you will suffer. Water damage moves fast and deepens quickly, so the first step you need to take is finding the source of the water.
After you are able to locate the source, you should try to stop any further water from coming in. If the source is a natural disaster, you may not be able to stop the flow until the danger is over. Internal sources of flooding can be stopped at its source though, so make sure you know your house well and can get to water shut-offs quickly.
Never step into standing water that could be touching any kind of live electricity. Turn your power off at the source before moving forward with drying out your home.
