What to do until help arrives: Vandalism Damage

4/8/2021 (Permalink)

Vandalism is a damage type that is often over looked by the normal property owner. This makes it even more difficult to deal with when your business is spray painted or damaged. Often times attempting to deal with vandalism yourself results in further damage to our building exterior. In order to avoid that additional damage SERVPRO has three things to do and not to do until your local franchise arrives.

DO:

• Hose or wash egg damage from building exterior as soon as possible.
• Vacuum glass particles from carpet and upholstery.
• Save containers which could reveal the ingredients of spilled inks, cosmetics and paints.

DON'T

• Attempt to remove ink, paint or cosmetic stains.
• Operate damaged lamps or appliances.
• Discard furniture wood chips, broken pieces from porcelain, furniture or art objects.
