Canaan residents can follow these tips to ensure safety until SERVPRO arrives to handle the flood damage

If you have flooding in the midst of a significant storm in Canaan, you must remain mindful of all the potential hazards. Until our crew at SERVPRO arrives to handle the mitigation and cleanup, it helps to know some of the basics.

Our skilled water restoration technicians (WRT) arrive within hours to get started. However, we want you to think about these tips until we can get there to handle the flood damage in Canaan:

• Cut the electricity – Water and electricity make for a dangerous combo. If possible, shut off the main breaker for the flood zone until our crew arrives.
• Wear protective gear – If you have any standing water, it is best not to enter. However, if you need to go through the flood zone, always put on some protective gear, i.e., coveralls, rubber boots, respirator mask, etc.
• Contact restoration experts – SERVPRO’s flood mitigation specialists have the training to not only organize the cleanup but also execute the job promptly to ensure your home is left, “Like it never even happened.”
