Water Damage Restoration

Water Damage Restoration

Water damage to a home can be caused by leaking appliances, rainstorms, and flooding. The initial damage is often substantial, and if not handled in a prompt manner, can result in mold growth, corrosion, and structural deterioration.

A#1 Emergency Service understands how traumatic water damage is to a home owner, and strives to restore your home back to its pre-loss condition as quickly as possible. Our technicians are thoroughly trained in the latest restoration techniques and are prepared to handle any water damage situation, no matter the size. We will also work in coordination with your insurance company to handle your claim and minimize out of pocket expenses.

In the event of water damage, DO the following:

• Stay calm!
• Call A#1 Emergency Service at 949-489-1929
• Make sure the water source is turned off. This will help contain the damage.
• Turn off the breaker in the damaged area before you unplug or remove any electrical devices located on the wet carpet.
• Place aluminum foil under legs of any furniture which is in contact with wet carpet. This might help prevent furniture stains on your carpet.
• Lift draperies away from wet carpet.
• Pin up upholstered furniture skirts which may get wet.
• Remove books, shoes, paper goods, fabrics, potted plants, and other items which may stain wet carpet.

DO NOT attempt the following:

• Don't use your home vacuum. Electrical shock may result, as well as certain damage to the equipment itself.
• Don't place newspaper in traffic areas to walk on. Newspaper ink transfers easily to the wet carpet fibers and may result in permanent staining.
• Don't walk on carpet any more than necessary. This will keep from spreading the damage to unaffected areas.
