Are you swimming unhappily in water from a flood? Call us for help!

Walking into a flooded home or business is never a good way to start the day in Northglenn! If you find yourself dealing with wet, soggy furniture, carpeting, etc., give SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada a call at 303-452-9900 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 Broomfield/Arvada 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 Broomfield/Arvada 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
