Are you wondering what steps need to be taken while waiting for water damage cleanup? Here are the main do's and don'ts to keep in mind:
- Don't use electrical appliances while on wet carpet or flooring
- Don't lift tacked down carpet without professional help
- Don't remove books from shelves. Instead, pack them tightly to prevent warping of pages till professional help arrives
- Do move photos, paintings and art objects to a safe, dry location
- Do remove wet area rugs or other floor coverings not permanently attached
- Do wipe furniture, prop up wet furniture cushions for even drying and place aluminum foil under furniture legs
