When water damage gets you down, SERVPRO of Plantation is “Here to Help!”

If your home or business in Lauderhill suffers any type of water damage, there are some things you can do before help arrives. First, make sure the building or home is safe to be in, then call SERVPRO of Plantation. We will be there to make your water damage “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO of Plantation Wants You to Remember:

• Waterlogged materials are very heavy
• Wet surfaces are slippery
• Make sure electrical power is off before you handle devices
• Make sure you are standing on dry area before you turn on the electric power

SERVPRO of Plantation suggests that you:

• Remove excess water with mops and/or towels
• Wipe water from wood furniture or other items
• Remove wet cushions. Prop them upright to dry
• Hang up rugs to dry
• Place foil or blocks between furniture and wet carpeting
• Turn on dehumidifiers or air-conditioning if it is safe
• Move colored items from wet carpeting
• Move artwork to a safe, dry place
• Move loose items from the floor or counters
• Start drying items ASAP
• Remember that mold starts growing within 24 hours
• Stay away from rooms that have sagging ceilings

While we know we cannot avoid water damages altogether, we can certainly work together to bring your Lauderhill home or business back to its preloss condition.

SERVPRO of Plantation is independently owned and operated.
