It's summertime in southern California which typically means, swimming pools, barbecuing, beach trips, vacations, and evenings spent next to a camp fire. These activities may be a welcome and much needed step away from the daily grind, but just because you are taking a little time off doesn’t mean potential leaks or floods are.

One of the most common types of floods we at SERVPRO of Hesperia/Apple Valley and SERVPRO of Barstow/Twentynine Palms are dispatched to is kitchen floods. Picture this: the family is in the backyard, barbecuing and swimming in the pool. You are in the kitchen preparing more food for the barbecue and cleaning the prep dishes. One of the kids decides they absolutely, positively need your attention this very instant to show you how big of a splash they can make while belly-flopping into the pool and subsequently drenching your lawn furniture with water, thus causing the metal frames underneath to get wet, which might lead to rust, and nobody wants rust. You get a towel to go dry off the frames and -

The sink is still running. It has been for nearly half an hour.

You come back inside to an inch of water flooding your kitchen and dining room, completely soaking your hardwood floors. What do you do now? Call SERVPRO of course.

Have that fun in the sun but when flood water rains on your parade, give SERVPRO of Hesperia/Apple Valley or SERVPRO of Barstow/Twentynine Palms a call at (760)244-2566. We can restore your home to pre-belly flop conditions and make it “Like it never even happened.”
