Restore your home after water and flood damage

When disaster strikes your home, your family's lives are disrupted. All you want to do is get everything back to normal. Fast.

That's where ServiceMaster Clean comes in. Our local service businesses are trained, equipped and ready to restore your home after any disaster, from water in the basement to major damage from extensive flooding. We'll dry and clean everything from documents to carpet to help you avoid mold problems later. We handle jobs as large as your entire home or as small as a single room.

What to do:

Call for professional help. Damage from water and bacteria growth can begin within hours.
Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting.
Remove wet rugs or other floor coverings not permanently attached. Do not attempt to start removing your wall-to-wall carpet.
Lift draperies off the floor, loop though a coat hanger and place the hanger on the drapery rod.
Wipe furniture, prop up wet furniture cushions for even drying and place aluminum foil under furniture legs.
Move photos, paintings and art objects to a safe, dry location.
Do not remove books from shelves. Rather pack them tightly to prevent warping of pages until a restoration professional can begin the specialized drying process.
Open drawers, closets and cabinet doors to enhance drying.

What not to do:

Do not enter a room with standing water until electricity has been turned off.
Do not use a regular household vacuum or wet/dry vacuum to remove water.
Do not lift tacked-down carpet without professional help.
Do not use electrical appliances while on wet carpet or flooring. Do not disturb visible mold.
Do not open windows or doors for ventilation. Opening windows could actually slow the drying process and raise the humidity level in the affected area.

When the unforeseen happens, call on the quick response of ServiceMaster Clean at 800-RESPOND. Our emergency call center is prepared to handle your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In the meantime, check out our Weather Related Tips, or our tips for coping with disasters.
