Disasters are difficult to deal with, bringing about a lot of stress and worry to your home or business. Whether you’re dealing with flooding after a storm or don’t know where to start after experiencing fire damage, one thing is for sure in times of uncertainty–you can call SERVPRO Belle Meade/West Nashville for speedy restoration and repair services. 

What Should My First Step Be After A Disaster? 

Your first priority after a disaster should be the safety of you and your family. The fire may be out, or the storm may have stopped, but that doesn’t mean the damage left behind isn’t still dangerous! You may not be aware of the structural, electrical, or slip and fall hazards in your home. We urge you to call us, and we will be on the way shortly to aid you no matter what the situation may be. 

• In case of water damage after flooding or fire, take care not to try to lift and move objects. Even things you may be able to carry when dry can become very heavy when wet, and you should take care not to slip and fall on wet surfaces! 
• Both fires and flooding may cause damage to electrical items. Be sure to move carefully throughout your home, and avoid turning on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged. 
• After fire damage, be sure to limit movement within the home to prevent soot particles from embedding themselves into upholstery and carpets.
