How Do I Clean Up Water Damage After A Flood In My Nashville Home Or Business?

A flood in your Hermitage/Donelson home or business can bring life to a complete stop. Until your location is fully restored, you won't be able to live or do business normally. 

You may be able to do some of the cleanup tasks yourself. Still, you might also need the assistance of a professional water damage restoration company like SERVPRO of Hermitage/Donelson. We're just a phone call away at (615) 885 3906! We can be onsite immediately to investigate the damage and start the restoration process, getting you back to normal as soon as possible. 

What Can I Do To Begin The Water Damage Restoration Process?

You can do some things to begin the water damage cleanup process while you wait for SERVPRO to arrive. 

After any water damage situation, your primary focus should be safety first:

• Make sure it is 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!

Once the situation is safe, you can:

• 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.
