In the event that your business experiences a water loss, call SERVPRO of East San Antonio. Ask the technician if there are any steps you can take while waiting for them to arrive.

It's best to get a professional's guidance since every situation varies, but here are some tips to potentially help minimize damage to your property:

• Find where the water shut off valve is. Shut off the water, or contact the person in charge of shutting off the water.
• Turn off circuit breakers in any areas of the building that are wet.
• Do not enter affected areas if electrical outlets, switches, circuit breakers, or electrical equipment are exposed to water. 
• Don’t turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet or enter rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.
• If it's safe to do so, place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpet.
• If it is safe to move any paintings, art objects, computers, documents, or other sensitive valuables to a dry place, do that to prevent further damage.
