Hurricane season is upon us, meaning homeowners throughout FL are getting ready for tropical storms and stocking up on supplies. Even the best preparation can’t always prevent water damage that hurricanes' and tropical storms can bring. It's critical to know what to do if you find yourself in this unfortunate situation.  

First Thing's First:

1. Keep Yourself Safe

Water plus electricity is extremely dangerous. If your property has water intrusion while electronics are plugged in, just leave it be. Get yourself to a safe place outside of the property if possible. 

2. Start Cleaning Up Right Away

Water damage worsens as it waits to be cleaned-up. Not taking care of the water damage ASAP can lead to secondary damages and an overall higher bill to pay. 

Contacting a professional restoration company as soon as you can is the best option you have. We will be there as fast as possible, with the proper equipment and knowledge to handle the damage and make it "Like it never even happened."  

3. Call Your Insurance Company

After calling us, contact your insurance company and let them know you've had a loss and SERVPRO is already on-site. They will be happy to hear you hired a professional promptly. Whatever insurance carrier you use, we have dealt with before.
