Spring presents a different set of potential water damage situations than winter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your home may have survived the impact of ice dams and frozen pipes this winter, but now we\u2019re entering spring<\/span>\u2014<\/span>the rainy season<\/span>\u2014<\/span>which can cause water damage due to flooding and other circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you prepared to deal with spring water damage to your Pittsburgh<\/span>,<\/span> PA home? Here\u2019s a quick checklist of items to include in your <\/span>water damage restoration<\/a><\/span> plan:<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety first \u2013 The safety of your family is priority number one. In the <\/span>event <\/span>of a disaster<\/span>,<\/span> make sure your family has a plan if there\u2019s a need to evacuate your home. During a disaster such as a flood or severe storm, pay attention to the directions provided by emergency alert systems and do exactly as they say. <\/span><\/p>\n

Assess the damage \u2013 Once the disaster has subsided and it\u2019s safe to check around your home, you\u2019ll want to take note of any damage and take plenty of pictures. Be careful to check for structural damage to your home<\/span>\u2019s<\/span> foundation before you make the decision to enter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Contact your insurance company \u2013 Make sure you notify your insurance company<\/span> of the event<\/span> <\/span>and<\/span> provide detailed information about <\/span>the <\/span>water damage <\/span>in <\/span>your home. You may want to get permission before hiring <\/span>a water <\/span>damage <\/span>restoration company. Depending on your type of insurance and the type of damage, certain expenses for water damage restoration<\/span> may be covered. <\/span><\/p>\n
