PuroClean’s Dos and Don’ts of Water Damage in Austin

Repairing water damage in Austin is very important, but the safety of everyone involved is our first priority. Whether mitigating or restoring water damage, the following tips will help lower the risk of you suffering a setback due to a rain event, flood, faulty plumbing, leaking AC, or roof.

What You Should Do:

• Turn Water Off: Shut down your home’s water source and call a plumber for repairs.
• Be extra careful: Watch your step as floors may be slippery and wet. Keep a lookout for obstacles and any exposed wiring. USE CAUTION.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to speed up drying and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, turn on your A/C.
• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Eliminate obstacles – Remove rugs: Pick up any wet rugs and take out all items that are sitting on the floor and could pose a treat when walking.
• Dry Storage Containers: Open wet suitcases or storage bins; and, if possible, have them dry in the sunlight.
• Protect Valuables: Relocate paintings and other art to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry all damp clothes. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.
• Furniture Protection: Put aluminum foil or some sort of plastic under all furniture legs touching wet carpets. Open cabinet doors and drawers to dry out interiors (but do not force them open).
• Contact PuroClean ASAP: Call PuroClean of Austin. Experienced technicians highly trained in Austin water damage are ready and waiting to come to you.

Do Not Do:

• Do not Operate Electrical Appliances: DON’T TURN ON TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any electrical appliances while standing on wet carpets or floors, particularly concrete or tile floors.

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding or water damage? Do you work with insurance companies to minimize the cost and hassle?

Homeowners insurance provides coverage for damage that is sudden and accidental (such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts). However, flood damage, no matter the source of the water, is NOT covered by standard homeowners’ policies. Also, the water damage that results from a lack of maintenance is not covered on a standard homeowner’s insurance policy.
