What Are Some Proactive Steps I Can Take To Protect My Bloomville Commercial Location?

When a pipe bursts and you're faced with flooding, there are some steps you should take right away to protect your property:

• If a pipe bursts, go to your main water valve and shut the water flow off immediately.
• Turn off the electrical system before you start cleaning up any water.  Call an electrician if water is blocking your path to the breaker box; never wade in water where electricity is live.
• Drain the remaining water from the system and relieve pressure by turning on sink faucets; this prevents further damage.
• Toxic mold can be even worse than property damage, so clean up standing water to prevent mold from forming in the ceiling, walls, and floors.
• Start the cleanup process yourself using industrial-sized blowers and dehumidifiers. If there's a lot of water, it's recommended that you contact a water removal company, like SERVPRO of Huron & East Seneca Counties, certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).
• Documenting the broken pipe, water damage, and anything that needs repairs due to the burst pipe is always a good idea. Take photos and keep notes of any communication with your insurer and restoration specialists. (NOTE: SERVPRO can help manage the insurance paperwork and process for a stress-free claims process. Contact us for details.)
