Walking into a flooded home or business is never a good way to start the day in Fort Worth! If you find yourself dealing with wet, soggy furniture, carpeting, etc., give SERVPRO of West Fort Worth a call at 817-560-3086 and we will begin the restoration process.

While you are waiting for SERVPRO to arrive, there are a few things you can do, if you choose, but first make sure the building or home is safe to enter.

SERVPRO of West Fort Worth Wants You to Remember:

  • Wet surfaces are slippery
  • Make sure electrical power is off before you handle devices
  • Make sure you are standing on a dry area before you turn on the electric power
  • Waterlogged materials are heavy

SERVPRO of West Fort Worth suggests you:

  • Remove excess water with mops and/or towels
  • Wipe water from wood furniture or other items
  • Place foil or blocks between furniture and wet carpeting
  • Turn on dehumidifiers or air-conditioning if it is safe
  • Move colored items from wet carpeting
  • Move loose items from the floor or counters
  • Remember that mold starts growing within 24 hours
  • Stay away from rooms that have sagging ceilings
  • Remove wet cushions. Prop them upright to dry
  • Move artwork to a safe, dry place
  • Start drying items ASAP
