Water Damage Do's and Don'ts
THE FIRST 24 HOURS ARE CRUCIAL!
-
First and foremost is to STAY CALM!
-
Turn off any running water immediately.
-
Shut off only the breaker in the damaged area before unplugging or removing any electrical devices located on the wet carpet.
-
Place aluminum foil under legs of any furniture which is in contact with wet carpet. This will help prevent furniture stains on your carpet.
- Aluminum foil also hasten the drying process
-
Lift drapes away from wet carpet.
-
Pin up upholstered furniture skirts which may get wet.
-
Remove valuable contents such as books, shoes, paper goods, fabrics, potted plants, and other items which may stain wet carpet.
Do not attempt the following:
-
Don't use your home vacuum, since electrical shock may result, as well as certain damage to the equipment itself.
-
Don't place newspaper in traffic areas to walk on, since newspaper ink transfers easily to the wet carpet fibers and may result in permanent staining.
-
Don't walk on carpet any more than necessary. This will keep from spreading the damage to unaffected areas.
