Flooded Kitchen with chairs underwater. SERVPRO's tips to be best prepared for an emergency. Be prepared for water damage or fire damage today!

In 2017, according to the Insurance Information Institute, 6% of insured homes had a property claim opened. Based on this statistic, it is safe to assume that most of us have never experienced water or fire damage in our homes. With this being said, we want to provide some tips on how to be best prepared in the event of water damage or fire damage:

  1. Create an inventory of your belongings. In the event of a disaster, it can be very beneficial to have a documented list of your items, including the year purchased, amount purchased for, brand, and receipt if available. 
  2. Have an evacuation plan or emergency plan in place. In the event of fire damage, have an evacuation plan in place. Also, rehearse this plan annually with your family. In the event of water damage, create an emergency shut of guide to direct whoever is home to the water shut off valve and the electricity shut off breakers. 
  3. Don’t wait to call for help. We instinctually think to call our insurance providers immediately upon discovering a water or fire damage. While this is a great choice, calling SERVPRO first is the better option! Our team can help you determine whether an insurance claim is a right move for you based on the loss and deductible amounts. 

We are here to help you become better prepared in the unlikely event of an emergency. If you ever have water damage in your home we hope that SERVPRO of Park la Brea will be the first call! Check out what these people said who called SERVPRO first!
