When Water Damage Happens, Call the Pros

water damage restoration

A flooded home can be one of the most devastating events that can happen to a homeowner and their family. For most, it means an evacuated home, damaged materials, ruined floors, and potential mold. It can be an overwhelming process, and most people do not know where to start when it comes to water damage restoration. If you find yourself dealing with a flood, consider hiring the professionals at Green Genie Environmental who specialize in an eco-friendly service. Here are a few things you can do if you experience flood damage in your home. 

Keep Your Family Safe

Start by turning off the power. Turning off the power to your home and specific areas will help protect you and your family from the risk of electrocution. If you have to enter an area of standing water, wait and call an electrician. 

Wear Protective Gear

Make sure to wear protective clothing like rubber boots and gloves. When you re-enter your home, this gear will keep you from getting sick from potentially contaminated water. 

Protect Your Valuables

If you have wooden furniture, you can place aluminum foil under the furniture to make sure that it does not stain your carpet. Make sure to remove the carpets as well and begin drying them out. 

Call a Professional for Eco-Friendly Water Damage Restoration

With water damage restoration, you should call a professional who has the right equipment and expertise to fully clean up and restore your home. Our team at Green Genie Environmental is available for your water damage clean-up needs. 

Dry Out Your Home

Once you have called a professional to help with the clean-up and all the standing water has been removed, the restoration process can begin. If you can turn your electricity back on, use your central air conditioning to help remove the humidity. You can use floor fans and dehumidifiers to help dry out the remaining areas, like floors and walls. Drying out your home will help get rid of mildew and molds. If you can begin drying your home within 24 hours, the risk of mold decreases dramatically. 

Check for Mold After Water Damage

Mold can begin developing after the first 24 hours of a flood, and once it has started growing it will be difficult to remove it from your home. The faster you can begin drying things out, the better chance you have of avoiding mold. If you do begin to have mold issues, call a professional immediately to help remove them. It can be harmful to you and your family’s health.
