Flood Damage Emergency Tips

3/21/2022 (Permalink)

After any flooding situation, your primary focus should be safety first: 

  • Is it safe to stay in the house? 
  • Electrical and "slip and fall" hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns. 
  • Only do activities that are safe for you to perform. 
  • Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful! 

If you experience water damage to your home after a flood, here are some tips that you can do until the SERVPRO of Greenwood, Abbeville & McCormick Co. team arrives on site: 

  • Remove excess water by mopping and blotting.  
  • Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.  
  • Remove and prop wet upholstery and cushions.  
  • Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.  
  • Turn the air conditioning on for maximum drying in summer.  
  • Remove colored rugs from wet carpeting.  
  • Remove art objects to a safe, dry place.  
  • Gather loose items from floors.
