Tips to be helpful before SERVPRO arrives

A water damage occurs in your home and you have already called SERVPRO of Pasadena North to come to the rescue, but what can you do in the meantime to help?

First off, SAFETY FIRST, make sure the home is in a safe enough condition to move around. Remember, wet objects are much heavier than you may think, use caution when lifting. 

Here are a few ways you can help before SERVPRO arrives:

• Gather any loose items from the floor
• Remove your art objects from the walls to a safe space where they can be dry
• Turn your a/c on (if its a hot day) to help speed up the drying process
• Place wood blocks or aluminum between furniture legs and wet carpet 
• Wipe excess water from wood furniture after you remove any lamps, clocks, or other decor
