Restoring Water Damage in the City of Savannah

3/7/2025 (Permalink)

Disasters such as flooding and water emergencies are often unexpected and can be very stressful. SERVPRO of Savannah offers 24/7 emergency cleaning and restoration services. Approximately 37% of U.S. homeowners report experiencing losses due to water damage. Whether caused by a leaky roof, burst pipe, or appliance leak, knowing how to respond immediately after water damage occurs can significantly reduce the long-term effects and costs. Water spreads quickly and can be absorbed by floors, walls, personal belongings, and furniture.

What to do Until Help Arrives

SERVPRO of Savannah is here to help and starts the water extraction process almost immediately. While you wait for our trained professionals to arrive, you can take a few steps.

• Stop the source of water: Locate the leak and shut off the water supply immediately if it is safe to do so.
• Protect and preserve contents: Remove valuable belongings.
• Turn off circuit breakers for wet areas if access to the power distribution panel is safe.
• Do not use a household vacuum, do not use wet electronics or electrical appliances, and do not turn on wet ceiling fixtures.

It is important to treat and respond to water damage immediately. Within 48 hours a week, mold and mildew may grow and spread, causing possible serious biohazard contamination. Restoration time and cost increase drastically and replacing contaminated materials and structural rebuilding may be extensive.
