Can I have a water damage during a drought?

YES!!

Water damages in homes, hotels, schools, and places of businesses can happen at any time even during a drought! 

There is no "better" or "worse" time for a water damage. Unfortunately and usually it always happens at the worst time.  SERVPRO of Rochester has had customers call us right as family is arriving for a weekend, getting ready for a graduation and even wedding. It is best to have a plan for when this happens, you know what to do right away. 

SERVPRO of Rochester recommends you do the following steps after you find water in your home. 

1. Find the source. Where is the water coming from? How did it get into your home?

2. If it is safe, turn off the water supply. 

3. Contact SERVPRO of Rochester.  We have on call technicians and owner 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even holiday.  507-286-9170.

4. If you are able, move contents that are currently in water or in the path of the water.  Don't throw away anything! You will need to itemize and photograph each item as specific as possible if it's deemed unsalvageable.

We are here to help you.
