What to do after water damage

  • Damage from water and bacteria growth can begin within hours. Call us for professional help.
  • Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting.
  • Remove wet area rugs or other floor coverings.
  • Lift draperies off the floor, loop through a coat hanger, and place the hanger on the drapery rod.
  • Wipe furniture, prop wet furniture cushions for even drying, and place aluminum foil under furniture legs.
  • Move photos, paintings, and art objects to a safe, dry location.
  • Do not remove books from shelves. Rather, pack them tightly to prevent warping of pages until we can begin this specialized drying.
  • Open drawers, closet, and cabinet doors to enhance drying.
