- Begin by unplugging anything sitting in water and turn off breakers if needed. Then remove as much free-standing water as possible. DO NOT use a household vacuum cleaner. This will result in a possible fatal shock! However, you may simply mop or if you have access to a wet/dry vac, which is specially designed to remove excess water. Try carefully blotting water from wood furniture and other tabletop articles.
- As difficult as it may seem, the very most important thing you can do is actually very simple. DON’T PANIC! You have entrusted the “masters” in the flood recovery industry and water restoration. It is what we do, it is ALL we do! Each and every one of our technicians are not only skillfully trained, but are certified by The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, the IICRC, and are required to maintain a continual education program as a prerequisite to maintaining certification. We are also Vortex Drying System Certified. Have peace of mind that we will soon be there to rescue and in the meantime, here are some things you can do to not make our process easier.
- Be sure you have secured ALL valuables such as precious jewelry, oil paintings and other artwork so that they don’t become lost or damaged in the restoration process to follow.
- DO NOT use TV’s, computers, ceiling fans or any other electric appliance while standing water still exists. Again, this is a health risk and must be avoided able to prevent electric shock or fire!
- As to the legs of furniture such as chairs and tables, you can use plastic bags or aluminum foil to act as a barrier between your belongings and the costly effects of standing water.
- Most flood victims want to react by first picking up magazines and newspapers which may have been left before the flood. However, our professionals at Fast Action Restoration strongly recommend leaving them because of the fact that the wet dye will only bleed from one place to another, causing an even larger mess.
- DO NOT attempt to raise carpet which has been professionally tacked down. Improper raising could result in additional damage to the carpet itself and should only be done by a professional carpet installer. You can rely on the experts at Fast Action Restoration to do exactly that and then we will also make a professional opinion as to the future of the carpet and whether replacement is necessary.
- In the event your flood was the result of a sewage backup, it’s extremely important to remember to take caution in the presence of “black” water which contains raw sewage. According to an amendment enacted in 1965 and subsequently revised over the years, The Environmental Protection Agency or EPA states the serious concerns black water places on the community. It is said to be highly unsanitary and an extreme health risk. The EPA strongly recommends immediate evacuation where such water is present. It states that all floor covering must be removed and discarded and that all other surfaces must be carefully analyzed before re-entry. At Fast Action Restoration we are firmly committed to this. We strongly recommend that all family members be relocated to a safe place. Our technicians will arrive promptly to take care of the rest.
