Prepare your Palmdale Home for Potential Flooding by Identifying the Best Water Restoration Company Ahead of the Storm.

What should I do to remove flood water from my home?

Our SERVPRO crew can thoroughly explain the hazards associated with allowing floodwater to sit in your home. Aside from the bacteria and waste, black water invites into your house; any prolonged exposure only compounds any brewing problems. This risk is why commencing restoration activities quickly is so important. Some of the steps you can take on your own as you wait for our expert team to arrive include-

Avoid directly touching the water- Our team arrives wearing personal protective equipment that allows us freedom of movement within your home.

Avoid cross-contamination- isolate any areas of your home unaffected by the flood. Our team can set up physical barriers to avoid cross-contamination and diminish the damage.

Avoid using your ventilation system- to prevent the possibility of airborne spread of bacteria, do not engage your HVAC system until our technicians take a look at it.

Regardless of the impact of flooding in your home, SERVPRO of Palmdale North is at your service. Call us at (661) 526-3649 and let us leave your home, "Like it never even happened."
