Cleanup After the Storm

5/18/2020 (Permalink)

Storms can bring a lot of damage. After the storm is over, if you want to try and cleanup, make sure the scene is safe to enter and work in. Always be sure there are no more severe storms coming your way and call for help if damage is too much for you to handle alone. Here are a few tips to review before going to cleanup in or around your business or home:

• Be very careful climbing ladders or working on roofs.
• Use extreme caution if using a chainsaw to cut trees or branches.
• Cover leaking roofs before the next rain to prevent further water damage.
• Remove wet rugs and carpet from floors.
• Open windows and run fans if you have water damage in your home.
