When you have called an expert to provide storm damage restoration, you’ll want to do a few things if you can, before help arrives. The team at SERVPRO of Greater St. Augustine/St. Augustine Beach in St. Augustine, FL, are the area’s premier water damage restorers and specialty cleaners. They can help you restore your property to preloss condition when your property has been damaged by a storm. Water damage can lead to secondary damage at your property if the water extraction process doesn't begin ASAP. 

Here’s what you need to do when you discover water damage:

• Mop Excess Water: It’s perfectly okay to start the cleanup process before storm damage restoration services providers arrive. You can blot and mop away excess water on hardwood floors, and even carpets, to get the cleaning process started. Feel free to use towels and dishcloths to soak up water sitting on counter-tops and tabletops. 

• Organize Items: Your professional cleaners will arrive with large pieces of equipment and tools to take care of various steps of the excess water removal and cleanup process. Clear away entryways of clutter and small pieces of furniture. Prop up furniture against walls to make space for carpet cleaners, vacuums, fans and other machines.
• Remove Art & Fragile Items: You will want to carefully remove any artwork and other fragile items from areas that will be cleaned. Make sure to take extra care when climbing ladders or furniture to reach items in higher places since some surfaces may be slippery. Take your time to remove and store these items in waterproof containers or cover them with towels until the cleanup is complete.

Whether your home, office, or property is flooded after a major rainstorm in Greater St. Augustine, you’ll need professional services to repair any damage and prevent water leaks and mold buildup.
