For Complete Water Damage Recovery, Call as Soon as Possible

Water damage and bacteria growth can become a serious concern once you experience a loss. To increase your chances of a complete recovery, call ServiceMaster Advanced Restorations as soon as possible. In the meantime, there are a few water damage tips for you to ensure a more successful restoration.

What to do:

• Water damage and bacteria growth can begin in a relatively short period if not properly addressed. Call ServiceMaster Advanced Restorations immediately.
• Turn off the water to the source of the loss.
• Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting.
• Remove wet area rugs or other removable floor coverings. Do not attempt to start removing wall-to-wall carpet. 
• Lift draperies off the floor, loop through a coat hanger and place the hanger on the drapery rod.
• Wipe furniture, prop up wet furniture cushions for even drying and place aluminum foil under furniture legs or elevate furniture from water exposure.
• 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 a restoration professional can begin this specialized drying.
• Open drawers, closet and cabinet doors to enhance drying.

What not to do:

• Do not enter a room with standing water until electricity has been turned off.
• Do not use a regular household vacuum to remove water.
• Do not lift tacked-down carpet without professional help.
• Do not use electrical appliances while on wet carpet or flooring.
• Do not disturb visible mold.
• Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet, and stay out of rooms where ceilings are wet and/or sagging.
