Water Damage Austin TX

Apr 8

A Much to Common Emergency

Water damage is perhaps the most common emergency that plagues homeowners. Unfortunately, it also causes some of the worst possible damage. Basements and other rooms can flood for many reasons. Sometimes a pipe bursts. Sometimes water creeps up from under the foundation. At other times, sewage backup can cause flooding in the home. When you have water in your house that has nothing to do with a recent rainstorm, you may be left confused and scared. At  ATEX Water Damage Restoration we understand, and we're here to do everything in our power to get your home back to normal.

Dangers

Standing water causes damage quickly, so you'll have to act fast. First, if the water is coming from a burst pipe, shut off the water immediately. Get your family members, especially the children, away from the water. The water may contain toxic chemicals and other waste, depending on where the water originated. Furthermore, if the water has reached your electrical sockets, anybody who touches the water risks electrocution.

Turn Off Electricty

Your next step is to turn off the electricity if at all possible. You won't need to turn off the power for the entire house – just the part where you have standing water.
