Water Damage Can Be Dangerous

If you have experienced water damage in your home, it is important to take precautions to avoid shock hazards. Water can conduct electricity, so even a small amount of water can be dangerous if it comes into contact with electrical outlets, appliances, or wiring.

How to Avoid Shock Hazards During Cleanup

Here are some tips on how to avoid shock hazards during cleanup: - **Turn off the power to the affected area.** This is the most important step you can take to prevent shock. If you are not sure how to turn off the power, consult with a qualified electrician. - **Wear rubber gloves and boots when cleaning up water.** This will help to insulate you from electricity. - **Do not use electrical appliances in wet areas.** This includes things like vacuums, fans, and power tools. - **Keep children and pets away from the affected area.** Children and pets are more likely to come into contact with electrical hazards, so it is important to keep them out of the area. - **If you see any electrical wires that are exposed or damaged, do not touch them.** Call a qualified electrician immediately.

If You Are Shocked

If you are shocked, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Even a mild shock can cause serious injuries.
