Home Emergency Tips

What you can do until help arrives

Water Damage

After any water damage situation, your primary focus should be safety first:

• Is it safe to stay in the house?
   
• Electrical and "slip and fall" hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns.
   
• Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful! 

Fire Damage

• Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpet.
• Keep hands clean.  Soot on hands can further soil upholstery, walls and woodwork.
• If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open to help prevent odor.
