Below you will find a list of what you can do to properly handle an unexpected disaster:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Stay away from windows. \u00a0In case of severe storm, seek shelter in a basement or an interior room, such as the bathroom.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Stay out of moving water. Just a few inches of moving water can knock anyone off his or her feet.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Do NOT drive through water. Two feet of moving water can float almost any size vehicle.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Listen to your portable radio to stay informed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If damage occurs, make lists and take pictures. File a claim as soon as possible<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">All flood water is considered contaminated. Thus, if you have water damage, any absorbent materials that are contaminated should be removed and discarded (carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, etc.).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Water damage must be remediated correctly and quickly, otherwise it will lead to mold contamination, which presents another host of concerns and problems.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you suspect damage to electric or gas lines, call for a professional inspection before using them.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Call your local PuroClean office. We can help you determine the full extent of the damage and perform full restoration services in accordance with industry standards and best practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Whether the water damage occurs from storms, floods or other sources, PuroClean will mitigate your losses and prevent further damage by providing the latest state-of-the-science services to all property damaged from water, fire\/smoke, mold, and other disasters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparedness is vital to handling spring storms or floods.\u00a0 However, knowing what to do during and after a storm or flood is also crucial.
