Flood - flood
First move people and pets to a dry, clean environment. Never use food that is exposed to water. Do not use electronic or electrical equipment that is exposed to water before inspection. Wipe off water from all wood surfaces but do not attempt to clean the surface. If it is summer and safe, turn on the air conditioner to assist the drying process, if it is winter, alternate between opening the window and turning on the heat to promote drying.
Even if the amount of water leakage is small, it should be left to the professional to check and carry out the actual structural drying, because they have the technology to do so, mold and mold will not occur and increase damage.
High wind and storm damage
Make sure people and pets are moved to a dry, clean environment. If the roof is damaged, cover it with a plastic or tarp as long as you are sure it is safe to do so. If possible, board any broken windows. If you have any questions about the safety of the structure or roof, please wait for the professionals to get there.
Fire and smoke damage
Move everyone and pets to a safe, dry, clean air environment. Close the fire door to prevent spillage of smoke from other rooms. If it is safe, open the window to ventilate. Never use any type of electrical equipment until you have checked and declared it safe.
If it is winter and power is reduced, empty all refrigerators and freezers and move the food to a safe place. If the heat drops, pour antifreeze into the sink, toilet and bathtub to ensure that the tubing does not freeze. Do not ingest food that is exposed to smoke or fire. And don't try to wash the surface of smoke or fire damage.
If you have any questions, it is absolutely safe to take any of the above actions and it is best to wait for an emergency recovery service provider.
