If you experience a disaster that requires flood damage cleanup, all is not lost, however, there are a few things you need to do before the cleanup process can start. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Turn off the Power-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Entering a flooded room while there is still electricity running to the room is asking for an even bigger disaster. If your home or basement begins to flood, turn off the power to that area of the house (should be indicated on breaker box) if the breaker box is located in the same room as the flood, do not enter the room until a certified electrician or the power company can shut off the power. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Determine the Source-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you need flood damage cleanup due to a storm, there isn\u2019t a whole lot you can do until the storm passes and the water recedes if there are foundational problems that need to be addressed. If the flooding is caused by a burst pipe, toilet flooding, or other home problem, turn off the water immediately to stop further flooding. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Call A Professional-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the water and electricity are off, it\u2019s time to call a professional flood damage cleanup company. An inspector will come out to your home and give you an estimate on the extent of damage, and the time and cost to clean it up. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Start Immediately-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As long as your water and electricity to the room are off, if the flooding is not so significant that you could be injured in the room, you can start taking your property out of the basement and getting it to another area to start drying out. The longer the items stay submerged in the water, the less likely they are to be salvaged. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need flood damage cleanup, call ServiceMaster of Charleston at 843-760-0404 or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicemasterofcharleston.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">request a quote here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flood Damage Cleanup | What You Need to Do Before Flood Damage Cleanup &nbsp; Flood Damage Cleanup | Floods are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-servicemaster-of-charleston"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
