No matter where you live in Malibu California  you are bound to get some storms every now and then. Usually, these storms won’t cause many problems, but the worst incidents can damage parts of your home and property. If you have water damage or other issues following a storm, you need to quickly tear out affected items. There are other steps to ensure a successful cleanup, so make sure you know what to do.

Assessment

Your best bet following a significant storm is to call an experienced cleanup or storm restoration company to evaluate your needs. A company representative will do some of the following:

• Walk through the home and make note of damages
• Assess what steps to take next
• Evaluate whether cleanup or complete replacement is necessary.

Remove the Water

A technician’s first task will be to extract any standing water in your residence. The specialist will use a commercial size water extractor or other professional-grade machines to suck up the water. Drying equipment will be placed to control the environment till the affected materials will be removed.
