Due to the popularity of the first installment (thanks guys!), we’re bringing you five more “Oh sh!t” moments where TalkLocal can help. These are the moments when we often have to face life’s tough challenges head on, and not unnecessarily scream at the kids for something they likely had no hand in…likely.
A Tree Fell On Your Property
This can be pretty scary, especially if it occurs during a violent storm. Luckily, it’s not that hard to find a tree removal service any more. And just think, now you have all of that firewood for the fireplace that probably needs to be cleaned! This becomes much more serious if the tree falls on your house.
You Find a Nest of Pests in Your Home
Bedbugs, ants, termites, rats, mice, snakes, raccoons, alligators…A pest problem is serious no matter the size of the intruders. You especially don’t want to leave your family at risk of being hurt or your home at risk of being damaged.
You Broke/Lost a Tooth (and you’re older than 12)
Maybe you got into a stupid bar fight, or maybe you simply slipped and smacked your face on a table. Either way, a suddenly broken or missing tooth can be painful, and embarrassing. So, find a dentist to get it patched up in no time. And stop getting into stupid bar fights.
You’re Locked Out Of Your Car
This happens more often than you might think; your arms are full of groceries because you only want to make one trip. You hit the lock button as you step out of your car and hip-check the door shut. Then you see them: your keys, still in the ignition, in your now-locked car. Unless you’re a car burglar, you’ll need to find a locksmith. This moment becomes an emergency if your baby is locked inside.
You Find Two Feet of Standing Water in Your Basement
This may be the most shocking emergency to find in your home. You’ll want to find a professional immediately to find the source of the leak, patch it up, and repair any damage to your furniture. This may require more than one professional… In the meantime, grab a bucket and start de-flooding your basement.
So don’t get awe-struck by whatever just ruined your day (or week, or month). Use TalkLocal to find the help you need, exactly when you need it.
