Prevent Water Damage While on Vacation

        The chance of a flood happening in your home while you are on vacation is small. However, in the event that it did happen, the damage would be large. The most simple way to prevent water damage while you are away is to shut off the water main to your home.
      The key to preventing further damage from a water loss, such as mold growth, is fast response. Fast response cannot happen if no one is home to call for clean-up. To prevent water damage and worse, colstly and health-threatening mold growth, shut off your water before leaving on vacation.
      Most water shut offs can be found in garages, ulitility closets, and sometimes crawl spaces. In older homes, the water shut off may be difficult to find and could be located in the ground that needs a key for access.
     If you have water damage and need cleanup- trust SERVPRO of Grand Junction to make it, "Like it never even happened."
