TIPS FOR EMERGENCIES



While Emergency Response is in route to your home, these tips can help minimize your loss.

• Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting the saturated area
• Wipe furniture to remove excess water
• Place aluminum foil between legs and wet carpet
• Prop up wet furniture cushions for even drying
• Lift drapes off flooring, loop through coat hanger and hang on curtain rod
• Remove wet area rugs
• Turn on air conditioner if damage occurs in summer
• Move valuable paintings, art objects and photos to a safe, dry place
• Open closet doors, furniture drawers and luggage to aid in drying
• Remove any wet fabrics and dry immediately
• Hang furs and leather goods to dry separately at room temperature

THINGS NOT TO DO:

• Use your household vacuum to remove the excess water
• Use electrical appliances while standing on wet floor or carpets
• Stay out of any rooms where the ceiling is sagging from trapped water
• Wait to call for professional help. The longer you wait the more damage will occur
