Water Damage Control
Helpful Hints
With a series of storm systems bringing in cooler air, rain and even snow in some areas this week, we thought it would be a good time to review water damage tips.
Remember, water can seriously damage your property in a very short amount of time. Call for professional help as soon as possible to limit the amount of damage and begin the restoration process.
Things To Do:
- Call for professional help. Bacteria growth can begin within hours.
- Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting.
- Remove wet area rugs.
- Lift draperies off the floor, loop through a coat hanger and place the hanger of a drapery rod.
- Wipe furniture, prop up wet furniture cushions, and place aluminum foil under furniture legs.
- Move photos, paintings, and art to a safe DRY location.
- Open drawers, closet, and cabinet doors to enhance drying.

What You Want To Know
Some of our most common questions, asked by our professional technicians!
About how long does the drying process last? The length of time that the drying process takes varies from job to job. There are a number of factors that affect the time it takes to fully dry everything out, including the types of building materials, the location, the length of time the water has been standing, the amount and source of the water, the weather conditions, and how quickly the drying process began. Each incident is different, but most drying jobs take about three to five days to completely dry out. |
