Home Water Damage Emergency Phone Numbers
By Greg Vanden Berge
As a contractor, I'm the one that you call, when ever
your home becomes damaged from water. I'm the person who comes out to
your home and tries to get it back in shape, so that you can get back to
your normal duties of raising your family.
It's not the end of the world, whether you're coming home from a long day at
work or waking up and finding out that your carpet is completely
saturated and there is 2 inches of water in the bathroom, don't panic,
be prepared.
What I would like to suggest, is that these things do happen and when
they happen, they can produce group panic. When something like this
happens, most people don't even know where to start, who to call or what
to say, once someone picks up the phone on the other end. It wouldn't be
a bad idea, to have an emergency phone number for someone to contact,
especially if something like this was to ever happen.
If it's your homeowners insurance company, make sure that they can
provide you with a few additional phone numbers, in case you can't get a
hold of them, directly. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a few local
plumbing contractor or even a home water damage repair contractors,
phone number available, just in case you can't contact your insurance
company.
Make sure that every one in the home, knows where these phone numbers
are, just in case there's an emergency. It wouldn't be a bad idea to
keep and have a water damage drill in your home. We have fire drills at
work and even in our places of education, but we rarely have water
damage drills.
Being prepared, prevents frustration and anxiety. Try to make a plan for
a your home, just in case there's an emergency like this.
