When storm damage strikes, a fast response is critical. 

When storm damage strikes, a fast response is critical. Day or night, residents and business owners can expect our SERVPRO team to respond immediately to your storm emergency. While it’s best to leave the restoration work to the professionals, there are some actions home and business owners can take while waiting for our team to arrive on-site. 

What You Can Do While Waiting for Help to Arrive 

• Remove excess water by mopping and blotting.  
• Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.  
• Remove and prop wet upholstery and cushions.  
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.  
• Remove colored rugs from wet carpeting.  
• Remove art objects to a safe, dry place.  
• Gather loose items from floors.
