Preemptive Action

12/26/2019 (Permalink)

Because of our quick response time and speed in mediating the problem, SERVPRO is the way to go in case of emergency, but what do you do until SERVPRO arrives on the scene to help you out? Preemptive action by the person experiencing the problem, when they are able to do something, is very important in order to avoid further damage to the effected area. Sometimes preemptive action is hard because the problem may be too great or potentially toxic if exposed to the area, and with these problems there's not much an ordinary bystander can do, however, with certain incidents such as a leaky or faulty water heater tank for example, you can take preemptive action by moving things that can be damaged by water away from the site and even implementing towels to get the excess water up before more damage is caused.
