When water damage strikes, call the Clean Up & Restoration Professionals at SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County!

You’ve just come home from a long day at work and are looking forward to kicking your shoes off and relaxing.  You reach the front door, step inside, and SQUISH!  The unmistakable sound of stepping on soggy carpet reaches your ears.  In an instant, your mind goes from thoughts of relaxation to an urgent sense of determining what has happened.  Now what do you do??

Safety First!  Before proceeding further, check for issues such as sagging ceilings or slippery floors that could be hazardous to your safety.  If you determine that is safe to proceed, try to determine the source of the water intrusion.  If you find that a broken refrigerator supply line is the culprit, you will want to prevent water from reaching that source, and consequently further damaging your home.  Be cognizant of the source of the water: it can be unsafe to handle contaminated water, such as a sewage back up, without proper protective equipment.  Call SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County for help!  Our team of highly trained professionals is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for water damage emergencies.  Once we arrive on site, we will evaluate the damages sustained, perform emergency water extraction as needed, formulate a plan for the mitigation process, and keep you updated about your property every step of the way.

It can be a very stressful situation to deal with water damages in your home, including the damage itself, working with your insurance company, and taking care of any belongings that may have also be affected.  SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County can help with all steps of this process, helping to make your damage “Like it never even happened.”  When water damage strikes, give us a call at 850-466-3076.
