Disconnect the Power, Unplug Electronics, and Remove Furniture,
Electronics, and Movable Items
The quicker you can get items out of the way, the more likely you’ll be
able to save them from water damage. Move all electrical items first, and
if possible, turn off your power leading into the affected areas,
especially if the water rises above electrical outlets. Pull up your
carpets and padding as well. If you need help moving and storing all your
electronics, Hydro Clean can give you the assistance you need.
Remove Any Water
There are many ways to get rid of the water. If you don’t have power or
are worried about any loose wires, the old-fashioned, manual way might
work. Use any old towels, buckets, or mops to soak up as much water as you
can. As long as the sewers in your neighborhood aren’t backed up, you can
then pour the water down the drain. Otherwise, pour onto your lawn or
other porous surfaces. A wet or dry vacuum can also be used to clean up
the water damage.
Dry Out the Affected Areas
Once you’ve mopped up the water, use fans or a dehumidifier to assist in
drying out the area. If it has stopped raining, open any windows to allow
for air circulations and quicker drying. You want to dry out the area as
soon as possible.
You will likely need a hand in cleaning up your home after water damage
has taken its toll. Hydro Clean Certified Restoration has
certified technicians
available 24/7 to assist you with restoration and cleanup in a quick,
effective and efficient manner!
