What To Do If You Have Water Damage Columbia SC

The most important thing if your home experiences a flood, burst pipe, or sewage backup is to make sure you are safe. Water can carry harmful contaminants and cause significant health problems.

Here are some steps to take if your house has water damage:

Stop the flow: If there is a plumbing break, turn off the water main as quickly as possible to prevent further damage.
Turn off the electricity: If water is building up in an area with exposed outlets or wiring, turn off the breaker for that room or the entire building.
DO NOT ENTER STANDING WATER: When water is from a flood or sewage line, it can be hazardous. Water can also electrocute you if it is in contact with live power. Don’t touch water unless you know it’s safe.
Call your insurance agent: Let them know you have had water damage and begin the claim process immediately.
Document the damage: Your insurance company will want thorough documentation of all water damage to your home, as well as a copy of all restoration bills.
Call Pulliam Restoration: Call our water damage restoration experts and get the cleanup process started as soon as possible to decrease the likelihood of secondary damage.

Pulliam Restoration did a fantastic job when my house flooded. I will always call them first when I have any remediation issue. It really is great to have a communicative, locally owned and family run business like this that you can rely on here in Columbia.

When my house flooded we called Pulliam Restoration. They were at my house in what felt like minutes. When they arrived they took charge like it was their own house. From start to finish they showed complete professionalism. That company is a class act.

We discovered a broken pipe underneath our house rather late and Pulliam’s team came out within a few hours, showed up on time each day and carefully explained each step of the process. They were able to remove our flooded insulation and fan out the crawl space while recording what they found and helping us remediate the issues. The entire crew responded to text since I am deaf, and really sent the extra mile to communicate when they’d be by and what they were monitoring.

First Response is a first class operation. They have assisted our company and myself multiple times over the years; ranging from storm damage of projects under construction, a flooded bathroom, burst hot water heaters, mold clean-up and future mitigation in rental properties, and the delivery and rental of equipment used to self perform jobs.Their response times are incredibly fast and their staff has proven themselves to be courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Going the extra mile is just what they do!!!I cant recommend them enough.

First class service! My only regret was not calling them 4 or 5 hours earlier. Brian, Chris, and team were quick to assess the situation and work with me on a custom remediation plan. They explained everything, including pros and cons of the various options, clearly and completely. I hope I never need this type of service again. But, if I do, I know who to call.

First Response did a superior job of remediating water damage to my home. They were the second company that I called but the only one that I will call in the future. They take their jobs seriously and completely understand the meaning and value of delivering outstanding service. Not only did they correct the problems created by the first remediation company, but they went above and beyond to ensure that their work was done properly and expertly. Robert and Josh and the entire team earn my highest recommendations for service and expertise.

May 31, 2012 my husband and I were notified that we were being forced to move out of our home, at no fault of our own. Needless to say, this news caused a lot of stress for us! My employer, Robert Pulliam - President of First Response, understood the emotions I was going through and offered the company's services to assist in the process of moving. He also allowed me the time off needed to prepare for the move. My husband and I worked diligently over the next month to have everything packed up and ready to be moved out. On the afternoon of June 29th, Robert and a couple of our co-workers came to our home and moved everything out. It was such a tremendous blessing to have the extra man-power!! First Response has extraordinary leadership and support staff, and I am certainly proud to be part of such an amazing group of people!
