After the devastating floods in the Mid-Michigan area, we want to remind you that floods happen unexpectedly and can cause severe damage for your home or business. Storm damage through flooding can lead to property damage and ongoing mold problems, but the team at SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo have some tips to help:

SAFETY FIRST:  If there is standing water where electricity may be present, make sure that all electricity is turned off to the area to prevent electrocution. When in doubt, always contact a professional to help disconnect the power.

ACT FAST: When dealing with water damage, it is very important to take immediate action so that you can rescue as much as you can.

FIGHT MOLD: Getting your home dried out as quickly as possible is critical to avoid mold from settling in. While things can dry out naturally, this is not guaranteed, and it may not be fast enough to prevent mold. Mold can spread quickly, so a minor mold infestation can quickly escalate into a major problem.

If water damage occurs in your Kalamazoo, MI home, call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo. Don’t hesitate to call us at (269) 342-2366. Our crew makes water damage “Like it never even happened.”
