Water damage can be due to fires, broken pipes, blocked pipes, appliances, storms and other causes. There are different treatments depending on the cause of the damage. Water can be contaminated and should be considered hazardous. Visit our water Water Damage page for emergency and clean-up services.
No matter what the cause, restoration depends upon the speed that the property can be dried. Clean water may also generate mildew and other bacterial growths if neglected.

Good To Do
- Ventilate wet areas. Turn on air conditioning for accelerated drying in the summer (if there is no visible mold). In the winter, alternate cycles of opened windows and heating.
- Remove standing water from flat surfaces by sponging and blotting.
- Remove saturated rugs/carpeting when hardwood floors are at risk.
- Stay out of rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.
- Transport computers and musical instruments to a dry environment. Remove cases and blow dry with low pressure air.
- Remove lamps, telephones and decorative items from wet furniture tops.
- Open drawers and cabinet doors for interior drying but do not force open stuck drawers or door
Not So Good To Do
- Do not turn on TV’s, vacuums, computers or any electrical appliances while standing on wet carpet or floors, especially wet concrete floors. Serious injury may result.
- Use heat to dry closed building interiors, mildew and expanded moisture damage may result.
- Leave wet fabrics in place; space them apart and dry them as soon as possible.
