Flooding

Do not take a flooded home or business as a lighthearted matter.  You should be very serious in your attempts to enter your home after it has been flooded.  Keep these in mind after a flood damage in the Phelps County and surrounding areas.

• Disconnect all the Electronics-these can start fires if left on
• Move anything not bolted to the ground-furniture and tables should be moved out
• Have a Restoration Company remove the water-Extraction of water helps with the drying process
• Get rid of moisture in the affected area-dehumidification will help keep the mold from growing
• Disinfect the home-part of the cleaning process is to disinfect the house before rebuilding.
• Dispose of waste responsibly-tearing out items from the home is naturally the case.  Remember to take into consideration items with asbestos or you could be fined for disposing of them incorrectly.
