What can you do to help mitigate water damage?
Below are a few things you can do:

• Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting. Wipe as much excess water as possible from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.
• Place aluminum foil, china saucers or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.
• Turn air conditioning on for maximum drying in the summer and open windows to speed drying in the winter.
• Remove Oriental rugs or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting.
• Remove valuable paintings and art.
• Punch small holes in sagging ceilings to relieve trapped water, however, don’t forget to place pans underneath to collect the dripping water. If possible, keep out of rooms where ceilings are sagging.

However, here are few things you should NOT do:

• Leave wet fabrics in place; dry them as soon as possible.
• Use your household vacuum to remove water.
• Use televisions or other appliances while standing on wet carpets or floors, especially not on wet concrete floors.
• Turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet.
