What You Can Do Until Help Arrives

After any water damage situation, your primary focus should be safety:

• Is it safe to stay in the house?
• Electrical and “slip and fall’ hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns.
• Only do activities that are safe for you to perform.
• Wet materials can be very heavy. Be careful!

What To Do After Flooding

• Remove excess water by mopping and blotting
• Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items
• Remove and prop wet upholstery and cushions
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting
• Turn air condition on for maximum drying in summer.
• Remove colored rugs from wet carpeting.
• Remove art objects to a safe, dry place.
• Gather loose items from floors.
