Water damage can occur in your McKeesport, PA home for a number of different reasons. Ice dams, plumbing mishaps, or a faulty water heater can lead to a water damage situation that can spiral out of control if it isn\u2019t handled the right way.<\/p>\n

In the event of water damage <\/a>in your home, follow these steps to ensure that the water damage restoration process is handled correctly:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Contact your insurance company<\/strong> \u2013 You\u2019ll want to notify them as soon as possible to schedule a time for them to assess the damage. When you contact them, describe the water damage in your home in as much detail as possible. Take plenty of pictures to document the damage. Depending on your insurance provider, they may or may not cover all of the damage. The more detailed information you\u2019re able to provide the better.<\/li>\n
  2. Receive approval<\/strong> \u2013 Make sure that your insurance provider has given consent for you to contact a professional water damage restoration company to provide services.<\/li>\n
  3. Contact ServiceMaster by Stiffey<\/strong> \u2013 Time is of the essence when it comes to water damage restoration.

Our team of certified technicians will provide a multi-step water damage restoration process that includes pre-inspection, mitigation, anti-microbial treatment, thorough drying, and a final inspection. We\u2019ll also speak with your insurance company to ensure they know all pertinent details.<\/li>\n
  4. Make repairs<\/strong> \u2013 Some temporary repairs to your home, such as boarding up your windows, may be needed.<\/li>\n
  5. Keep damaged items<\/strong> \u2013 Do not throw away any of your damaged furniture or other important materials right away. Your insurance company will want to assess these items in order to put a claim together.<\/li>\n
  6. Communicate with your insurance provider<\/strong> \u2013 Communicate every important detail you would like to share with them. After receiving all of the necessary information, they will assess your situation and inform you of your options. Depending on your coverage, they may cover certain expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
