Securing a Water-Damaged Poughkeepsie Home Before Mitigation

After a disaster strikes, you want to take whatever steps are necessary to reduce the spread and severity of damaging effects in your Poughkeepsie home. Mitigation is a vital sequence that begins the efforts of our professionals when they arrive at a damaged residence, but before this can happen, we have to secure the property by addressing the immediate hazardous effects and reducing unnecessary risks to the safety of our technicians arriving at the house.

Knowing what to do in a crisis is not something that many homeowners have the experience to face, especially when it is a damaging situation like water damage to Poughkeepsie residences. Many have entrusted their homes to the skill and expertise of our SERVPRO professionals during water loss emergencies in the past, and the responsibility of recovering an area home is one of the rewarding aspects our accredited water restoration technicians and structural drying specialists experience.

Securing your home before mitigation begins can be a two-fold procedure that can begin before our professionals even reach your property. Before you vacate the premises or take a step back from the house to allow our experienced technicians access to the affected areas of the property, there are steps that you can take to better reduce your loss. Homeowners can move at-risk contents to a dry area of the house. You can also round up irreplaceable keepsakes and treasures to protect from migrating water loss effects.

Our SERVPRO technicians have a job to do to protect your home before our extraction, drying, and cleaning efforts begin. Setting up a staging area beside our sealed drying zones can help to minimize the incidental spread of water loss effects by having all necessary equipment and products conveniently stored in the house near the affected areas.

As detrimental as water loss emergencies can be for your home, taking the right initial steps can protect your home and its occupants from worse conditions. You can count on the fast response and the experience of our SERVPRO of NW & SE Dutchess County team to make water loss incidents “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call today at (845) 635-4550.
