Flood Damage Safety

SERVPRO of Leavenworth and NW Wyandotte County knows that in these uncertain times some things always remain the same. And one of those things is unexpected damage to your home. And whether that damage is from a rain storm, a tornado, or a broken refrigerator line, SERVPRO is here to help! If you experience a water loss or a flood, one of the most important things you can do is to identify potential hazards as soon as possible.

Here are a few to remember: 

Ceiling: If water damage has occurred to your roof/ceiling, the ceiling/roof could potentially be unstable
Electrical shock hazards: Lights can indicate if the power is still on and if the area is dangerous. DO NOT touch any sockets or switches to check if the lights are on
Contaminated water
Hidden hazards in the water
