What To Do If You See Water

6/14/2019 (Permalink)

When water damage occurs it can put you in a sense of panic. Being calm is key. Knowing where your main turn off switches are is very important in a water damage situation. When you see water turn off the main valve first. Then go back and try and isolate where the problem is coming from and you can isolate the leak to the nearest shut off. Water damage can range from burst pipes, natural disasters, flooding, ground infiltration, or even sewer lines.  Regardless of the cause another key important thing is to know when you need help. Often times a restoration professional is called to help with the restoration. We at SERVPRO of Iowa City / Coralville follow highly regulated processes to ensure that the water damage restoration not only is effective, but also provides a safe place for occupants during as well as after the restoration process.  You can depend on our team to have the equipment needed for any situation.
