Roswell residents are urged to take precautions to stay safe and protect both pets and people following severe flooding in the area. Not only does water damage affect electrical systems, water and sewage supplies as well as access to various areas around town but there is also a very real risk of illness due to bacterial contamination.
Local flood damage repair and restoration specialists urge homeowners to take special precautions including these standard safety recommendations:
- Shut down power or electricity to appliances or other electrical units exposed to water. Be sure to take precautions when restarting heating or cooling equipment in order to avoid further damage or even electrical shock. It is a good idea to have it fully inspected prior to using.
- Use bottled or boiled water. Pets and people need roughly 1 gallon of fresh, clean drinking water each day. Do not assume water is safe to drink until confirmed by authorities.
- Extract water and dehumidify as soon as possible. Professional water extraction, blowers and dehumidifiers can dramatically reduce the amount of damage throughout your home if used quickly enough. Mold and mildew can begin to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours especially during relatively warm weather. It is critical to have clean-up crews that are Certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration in order to assure work is performed to industry standards.
- If you find yourself feeling depressed, overwhelmed or highly emotional for no apparent reason, reach out for support. Local hotlines and support groups are available to those in need of a little extra help anytime of the day or night.
- Just Make One Call. Make it easy on yourself by making just one call to a company able to do it all. Work with a Roswell flood damage repair or Roswell water damage specialist you know and trust; preferably a company able to handle everything from start to finish like Kiwi Services. Fast, friendly, professional service with a nationwide reputation and one year guarantee – finally, a little good news you can use.
