What to Do When You Experience Water Loss: A Guide by SERVPRO® of Utah County and Downtown Salt Lake City
Water damage can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare, but knowing how to handle it can make all the difference. At SERVPRO®, we understand the urgency and the stress that comes with water loss. Whether it’s due to a burst pipe, a flood, or an appliance leak, immediate action is crucial to minimize damage and restore your property. Here’s what you should do when faced with water loss:
- Safety First
Before you do anything, ensure that it’s safe to stay in the house. Look out for electrical hazards and structural damage that may have been caused by the water. If you suspect any danger, leave the premises immediately and contact professionals.
- Stop the Water Source
If it’s safe to do so, try to stop the water at its source. For instance, turn off the main water valve if you have a burst pipe.
- Contact SERVPRO® of Utah County and Downtown Salt Lake City
