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.
