WATER DAMAGE

What to do:

• If the outside temperature is above 60 degrees, use dehumidifiers if available.
• Use fans in conjunction with dehumidification equipment to circulate the air and assist drying.
• Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting.
• Wipe furniture dry.
• Lift draperies off carpet, loop through a coat hanger, and place the hanger on the drapery rod.
• Prop up wet furniture cushions fir even drying and place small wood blocks or aluminum foil under furniture legs.
• Remove wet area rugs or other floor coverings.
• Open furniture drawers, closet doors, and luggage, to enhance drying.
• Move photos, paintings, and art objects to a safe, dry location.
• Remove damp books from shelves and spread out to dry.

What not to do:

• Do not use ordinary household vacuum to remove water.
• Do not use electrical appliances while on wet carpet or wet floors.
• Do not go into rooms with standing water if the electricity is still on.
• Do not lift tacked-down carpet without professional help. Lifting the carpet incorrectly could promote damage and delamination.
• Do not wait to call for professional help. Damage from the water and bacteria growth can begin within hours.
• Do not disturb mold if it is visible.
