Opening the windows in your home to assist the drying process is not always recommended. Outside weather conditions may vary. Your ServiceMaster of Midland/Orillia technician will determine when and if opening windows to let in outside air is advisable.
Nonporous flooring can trap water and prevent it and the materials under it from drying properly.
Hard surfaces can be cleaned and sanitized after water damage occurs. Affected items that cannot be sanitized will require disposal. Porous materials such as drywall, ceiling tiles, insulation, particleboard, paneling, etc. that have been directly affected by the damage should be removed during the emergency service visit.
