Water Damage in Your Rental?

Water damage can be extremely stressful to deal with, especially when the home is owned by you. So, what should you do if water damage occurs to the property you’re renting? Well, there are a few steps to take, and our team would like to help:

1. If water damage is occurring and it is continuously pouring out, you should shut off the water as soon as possible.
2. Do your best to soak up any standing water.
3. Report it to your landlord as soon as you can.
4. Consider having a Mitigation company out to assist (your landlord may do this)
5. If any of your personal property was affected, consider filing an insurance claim for your belongings.
6. Make sure you keep any relevant dates and receipts.

We hope this helps guide you through a stressful and confusing time. Our team at SERVPRO of Tacoma can help assist with the cleaning, dry out and even your content damaged by the water damage in your home, just give us a call at 253-896-3000.
