SERVPRO cleans up your home after a flood Crockett, Texas

One of the most damaging and devastating things you can ever experience as a homeowner is a flood. There are many causes of household flooding including:

• Heavy rains
• Sewer back-up
• Malfunctioning sump-pump
• Burst pipes

The first step in any major home disaster is to remain safe. You may be forced to leave your home if the flooding is bad enough. Make sure you are also safe when you return to your home to begin dealing with the aftermath. This may include turning off the power, as water and electricity obviously do not mix. Be sure to wear protective clothing–such as rubber boots and gloves–when you reenter your home. Not only will you be dealing with the water itself, but also whatever else the water has been in contact with, namely debris or even sewage. It is best to protect yourself against whatever harmful chemicals and items the flooding may have washed in.
