Alarming statistic, but Water Damage can strike at anytime. Are you Prepared?

In the United States, approximately 14,000 people experience a water damage emergency at home or work each day. Unfortunately, they cannot always be predicted or prevented, but instead, we can better prepare ourselves to learn how to respond in the event that this type of damage does strike. Here is a simplified version of the events that should transpire in the event of a water damage emergency. 

1. Make yourself familiar with the location of the emergency water shut off valve - In the event of a water damage emergency, quickly turning off the shut off valve can significantly minimize the damage created by the water intrusion. 
2. Ensure that the home is safe - If any electrical appliances or wires are affected, be sure to turn off the electricity to the home until a professional can assess the risk. This can be more dangerous than the water damage itself! 
3. Contact SERVPRO - Before proceeding with an insurance claim, SERVPRO can help you make the determination if a claim is right for you. 
4. Trust the SERVPRO of Park la Brea Experts - With over 500+ completed water damage losses, we feel confident and comfortable calling ourselves professionals in the industry.
