Emergency Services
We know you’ve got a lot on your mind. We’ve developed a guide that can help you through what to do when unexpectedly strikes your personal space. Please read and heed:
Emergency Guide
- Don’t wait to call for help. Damage from water occurs rapidly and sometimes the difference between restoration and replacement is only a few hours. You’ll need a professional – call Spectrum Restoration Services!
- Do not dispose of items until a restoration professional inspects, documents and itemizes those belongings. Many times our professionals can restore these items that initially look beyond repair such as books, art, clothes, furniture, electronics, documents and more.
- Remove as much excess water as possible by wiping with a large towel or mopping.
- Shut off the power in the affected areas to avoid risk of electric shock.
- Please be careful! Walking from carpet to hard floor surfaces will be slippery!
- Document the damage by taking notes and photographs. Be as detailed as possible.
- Help water to drain from ceilings by making small holes to allow trapped water to escape and drain into buckets and/or containers.
- Make sure your chosen restoration contractor uses and applies psychrometry (the science of structure drying). This means choosing only ASD/Vortex Certified professionals that will adequately and efficiently restore your property to a pre-loss condition!
