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.
