5/7/2024 (Permalink)

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in San Diego.

Our local Centre City/Uptown team is trained and certified to restore damage from flooding in homes and commercial properties in Hillcrest. Floodwater can infiltrate electrical systems and appliances, causing short circuits, corrosion, and electrical fires.

Waterlogged wiring, outlets, and electrical panels become hazardous, increasing the risk of electrocution and further damage to the home. Submerged appliances such as water heaters, furnaces, and air conditioning units may also suffer irreparable damage, requiring costly replacements. Here are some tips for things you can do while waiting for professional help to arrive:

What To Do After Flooding

• 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

What NOT To Do After Flooding

• Don't leave wet fabrics in place
• Hang furs and leather goods
• Don't leave books, magazines, or other colored items on wet carpets or floors
• Don't use your household vacuum to remove water
• Don't use television or other household appliances
• Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet, and keep out of rooms where ceilings are sagging
