Unwanted water intrusion can come from many sources. Broken water pipe, hot water heater leak, blockage of the drain line in the HVAC unit, toilet or bath tub overflow, leaking roof, water line to ice maker, surface water from outside your dwelling, etc. When it happens to you... you need to take quick action!

4 IMMEDIATE STEPS YOU MUST TAKE:

When water damage occurs, even a few hours can make the difference in saving expensive carpets and furniture. READ THIS to minimize your losses.

1. AVOID HAZARDS! Be extremely careful of the deadly combination of water and electricity. Also, be cautious of slippery wet carpets and floors. Stay away from Raw Sewage backups, which contain nasty bacteria and can be harmful to your health.

2. STOP THE SOURCE! If you havenʼt located the source of the water, call us immediately and we will guide you through this (itʼs crucial to know what to do).

3. TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION by calling Sunshine Cleaning Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will always be answered by friendly staff. No answering machines here! Our dispatchers will have a water damage expert contact you immediately.

4. REMOVE FURNITURE! Wood furniture can cause stains which are difficult and some times impossible to remove. Rust stains from metal also can be difficult to remove. 95% of water damage jobs are restorable, and the 5% which arenʼt restored usually are the result of not taking these four steps.
