Flooding – Protecting You & Your Property
When it comes to dealing with flooding, your first priority is to make sure that your property and you are well protected!
Floodwaters such as sewer backups or severe flooding can carry disease and bacteria from raw sewage, which can lead to serious health problems and long term health complications.
First and foremost, safety must be a priority. Take all precautions by avoiding exposure to these elements. Wear protective clothing such as:
- Suits – Protective suits such as Tyvek by DuPont or something similar.
- Mask – minimum P95 –if mold is suspected upgrade your mask to a P100 respirator
- Gloves – Wear Latex gloves under heavy protective work gloves
- Footwear – CSA green stamp safety footwear or rubber or steel toed boots
- Glasses – Safety glasses -Protect your eyes when cutting drywall and removing insulation.
