Watch Out for Flood Water!

11/5/2020 (Permalink)

Water damage could happen to anyone, us at SERVPRO of East Honolulu have almost seen it all. A running facet, or shower, water damage from the apartment above, leaks and more. But, the most dangerous thing to come out of water damage is the water itself. 

Please be careful when assessing your water damage! 

And, make sure you know where the water is coming from before delving in to the cleaning up. 

If the water is brown or dirty, do not touch it. Wait until professionals come, unclear water means the water is contaminated with something. Although it can be something as simple as dirt, it can be as deadly as pathogens. This type of contaminated water can be from a sewage system, leaky pipes allowing contaminates into the water before bursting...etc. 

Here are some things to be mindful of when dealing with said contaminated water, or water in general: 

-sewage particles 

- viruses 

-toxic chemicals 

-bacteria 

-microbes 

We know of the stress and anxiety that occurs when a leak or water enters your home, know that there are ways to prevent in the future, and professionals who are a phone call away. 

SERVPRO of East Honolulu is available 24/7, 365 to make the cleaning and restoring process for you simple and efficient.
