Water Damage

Do’s & Don’ts

If not properly handled, a loss involving water can lead to mould problems.

When you experience this kind of damage, DO:

• Turn off any interior water source that may be causing the problem.
• Inspect water damaged ceilings to ensure that they will not collapse.
• Puncture holes in the ceiling to release excess water.
• Move household items to areas where they will not sustain further damage.
• Remove excess water from fragile surfaces such as wood and upholstery.
• Call the nearest SystemCare location to help you mitigate the damages.
• Contact your insurance company to make a claim.

But DO NOT:

• Use electrical appliances, such as vacuum cleaners, to clean up water.
• Turn on any electrical switches until your electrical system has been checked.
• Use your furnace if water has saturated that area.
• Wait to call our office for professional help.
