What to do when your home is full of water.

It’s a homeowners biggest nightmare. Picture yourself coming home from a long day of work to an empty house. Maybe you’ve been looking forward to sitting down with a glass of wine or an iced tea and a little time to decompress. You pull up and your driveway is wet. You open the garage and there is this nice steady stream of water coming out of the door that leads into your house. Upon opening the door you have 2-3 inches of water in your kitchen.

This episode is to walk you through what to expect next. I sat down with Doug Pill, who is the COO of Servicemaster Fire and Water Restoration by Johnny on the Spot. He and I help you understand some best practices on what a homeowner can do quickly to stop any further damage and how to begin the repair process.

This can be a trying time for a homeowner, but you will have a team of professionals working hard to get your home back to where it was before this event. Thanks to Doug for coming in and helping explain the procedure in clear and concise fashion.
