SERVPRO of Stoughton, Brockton • Disaster Restoration Services & Construction • Call Us 24/7

The winter freeze is on here in the Stoughton, Brockton area of Massachusetts. The last few days have stayed below freezing throughout the day and the potential for water supply pipes to freeze and break increases by the day when conditions are this cold. 

If you are in the unfortunate situation of having this type of disaster there are a few things you can do to save yourself money and stress. In immediate after math find the closest shut off and stop the flow of water. If you are unable to locate the shutoff you will want to call an emergency plumber quickly as stoping the flow of water into the build must happen as quickly as possible.

Next, if you can, remove water logged items in the room such as curtains, area rugs, toys and clothing, etc. The more damp items that can be taken out of the home the better. That extra humidity will quickly promote mold growth so removing it is imperative.

At this point your next best move is to call SERVPRO. Our water damage restoration team will provide the correct drying equipment and services to quickly remove any other wet materials such as carpets and sheetrock from the home. Then we will provide dehumidification services to stop mold growth.

Finally we can provide complete construction services to replace carpets, flooring, sheetrock, cabinets and more.

Call us 24/7, if needed we will arrive immediately to begin restoration services.
