The cleanup process after a storm can be daunting. Debris and water damage pose serious risks to your home and health. At EnviroTech Solutions, we are here to guide you through safe and effective post-storm cleanup.
Assessing the Damage
Before you begin the cleanup, it’s crucial to assess the damage. Check for structural issues, standing water, and hazardous debris. Prioritize areas that need immediate attention.
Safety First
Your safety is paramount. Always wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and boots. Turn off the power to avoid electrical hazards.
Removing Debris
Start by clearing large debris like branches and broken furniture. Use tools like rakes and shovels for efficiency. Be cautious of sharp objects and hidden hazards.
Critical Points for Safe Debris Removal:
- Wear protective gear
- Use appropriate tools
- Dispose of debris properly
- Watch for hidden hazards
Dealing with Water Damage
Water damage requires prompt attention to prevent mold and structural issues. Pumps and wet vacuums can remove standing water, and fans and dehumidifiers can dry out the area.
Preventing Mold Growth
Mold can develop within 24-48 hours. To inhibit mold growth, remove wet materials like carpets and upholstery and clean and disinfect surfaces.
