Water Damage Tips for Jacksboro

When I saw the water on my front porch, I knew there was a problem. Sure enough, a supply line failed in my kitchen, and water had flooded downstairs while I was out shopping. I called SERVPRO® of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties and they gave me some tips  for what I could do while waiting for them to arrive:

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
• Only do activities that are safe for you to perform
• Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful!

What To Do After Flooding

• Remove excess water by mopping and blotting
• Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items
• Remove and prop wet upholstery and cushions
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting
• Turn air conditioning on for maximum drying in summer
• Remove colored rugs from wet carpeting
• Remove art objects to a safe, dry place
• Gather loose items from floors

At SERVPRO® of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties we witness firsthand the damage water can do to a home or commercial business. Here are some tips for maintaining indoor plumbing systems:

• Inspect appliance hoses and faucets
• Make it a practice every year to check hoses leading to water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerator ice makers
• Immediately replace any hoses that have cracks or leaks, and replace them all every five to seven years
• Inspect showers and tubs
• Check the seal and caulking around showers and tubs to make sure they are watertight and reseal if necessary
• When away on vacation, shut off the water supply to the washing machine and never leave the house while the washer or dishwasher is running
• Know the location of the main water shut-off valve in your home
• Being able to locate and shut off the main water supply quickly will save stress, money, and time
• Install an emergency pressure release valve in your plumbing system to help prevent your pipes from bursting

Sinking Feeling in Claiborne County?

I was down in my office for a couple of hours on a conference call before I heard a funny dripping and splashing sound coming down the stairs. When I investigated, I discovered that my daughter had left the sink running in my Claiborne County home. There was a shallow lake in the bathroom, and water was running down the hallway. The stairway carpeting was saturated. My neighbor told me to call SERVPRO of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties and I’m glad I did.

I was amazed at how quickly the SERVPRO technicians arrived. They quickly extracted the water and set up powerful air blowers and movers to dry the upstairs and downstairs areas that were flooded. Thanks to their fast mitigation, the floors were not warped or damaged, and there was no damage to the walls and baseboards. They documented the drying process and cleaned, sanitized, and deodorized the affected areas.
