SERVPRO Provides Water Damage Repair in Maple Grove and beyond.

When a dishwasher hose breaks loose, and water comes pouring into your kitchen, it can cause extensive damage. We often get questions from homeowners asking us what they can do before we arrive. Many times, they attempt to recover the area themselves. That can lead to hidden damage such as mold.

What You Can Do Before We Arrive

You can use towels to soak up excess water. Furniture can be raised and put on blocks to avoid immediate damage. Your priority should be to call SERVPRO for water damage repair services . Doing this prevents further primary damage and secondary damage.
