Rain-Damaged Home in Charlottesville?
3/8/2022 (Permalink)
Last month twenty-four states, from Texas to Maine, were impacted by a severe weather system. Although the Charlottesville region landed on the milder, rainy side of the storm, people did experience storm damage. SERVPRO® of Charlottesville often responds to storm damage emergencies during the winter months, and we typically arrive onsite within four hours of your call.
Here are some storm and water damage tips from our website on things you can do while waiting for help to arrive:
Safety First:
- Stop the source of water damage; call a plumber/or wait for the storm to end
- Turn off the electricity
- If it is not safe to stay in the house, evacuate everyone, including pets
- Have all your relevant documents in one safe, dry place
- If you have homeowner’s insurance, start the claims process
- Document everything with photos, and wear protective gear
- If you are a tenant, reach out to your landlord or property manager
Our team can help you with the cleanup process. Our technicians have the advanced training, protective gear, equipment, and the knowledge to extract any water, rescue and salvage personal items, thoroughly dry the area, disinfect, and help remediate mold!
