Safety for Water Damage and Fire Damage in Pottsville, PA

Pottsville, PA, is one of the oldest towns on the Schuylkill River that played a central role in the Anthracite coal trade of the late 18th century. It is estimated that the coal deposits in Broad Mountain are among the largest in the world, with approximately 7 billion tons here and in the surrounding area. The region is also home to America's oldest brewery, D.G Yuengling & Son, which still operates from Mahantongo Street, founded in 1829.

This city was the center of the coal region for several centuries, and today it retains its importance as the transportation hub for surrounding areas. The Union Station Intermodal Transit Center connects the North Western regions and was built for $16.1 million in 2006. Over eighteen distinct neighborhoods comprise the city, including Yorkville, Forest Hills, and Quinntown.

Property damages can affect the electrical systems in your home. In water damage scenarios like flooding, it is common practice to shut off the main faults to reduce hazards and the potential for permanent harm. If the structure is wet or damp, it is vital to avoid bringing in conductive materials, such as metal ladders, and to prevent the use of electrical appliances. SERVPRO technicians can provide protective coverings for electric outlets to ensure no further accidents in the structure occur during the restoration.

Electrical Safety

• Unused sockets and other openings are closed using plugs, plates, and covering.
• Light switches and other enclosures are fitted with plates to protect them from humidity, condensation, or moisture.
• Any electrical equipment used in the restoration is first grounded to enhance safety.
