CLEAN UP

4/9/2021 (Permalink)

PRE-CLEANUP

Make sure you have contacted the insurance company and they have assessed the damage before you perform significant cleanup! Be sure to wear rubber boots, rubber gloves, dust, and eye masks to minimize your chances of injury or infection.

TURN OFF POWER

This is especially important if the flood is above the outlet line. You may need to call an electrician if the circuit breaker is out of reach.

DISINFECT AND AIR OUT

Disinfect anything that has been touched by standing water. Be sure to open windows and doors and run fans and dehumidifiers to help dry out the space.

PREVENTION

To avoid damaging or even non-damaging leaks, a leak detection and automatic shut-off system can provide alerts through your mobile device or computer when water use is irregular.
