DIY steps you can take safely
For smaller, contained issues in Michigan homes, there are a few careful steps you can take before the crew arrives. Clear the area of valuables and move furniture away from affected zones. If you can do so safely, turn off power to affected areas to prevent electrical hazards. Place absorbent towels to minimize rising moisture and maintain some ventilation if it’s safe.
Keep a record of any water and odors, note the sources, and avoid using the fixtures in those areas. Do not attempt to flush or wash through the system if you suspect a major blockage or contamination. Our restoration specialists prefer to assess the situation with the right equipment rather than guessing at the cause.
