If you're the victim of water
damage in mi, the following practical tips can help you prioritize
and allocate what's best left to the services of a professional
Restoration Contractor in michigan.
Call a professional as soon as you discover
water damage mi. Bacterial growth begins immediately following a
flood, or flooded basement mi or sewer back up mi.
Do not vacuum wet floors or carpets; you're
placing yourself at risk for electric shock. Besides, the removal of
water from floors and carpets requires specialized machinery. Vacuum
cleaners are inadequate for the job.
If you encounter standing water in any room, do
not enter if the electricity is still on. Wait until a professional
arrives on the premises.
Turn on your ceiling fans, box fans and
oscillating fans throughout the house to aid in the drying process.
If your house has an air conditioning system, turn it on at the
lowest temperature your utility bill can stand. If your water damage
is incurred during the winter months, turn on your heating system.
Blot as much of the water as you can with large
beach towels. Mop the floors to lessen the possibility of seepage
and mildew accumulation.
If you own a dehumidifier, turn it on if the
outside temperature is approximately 65 degrees or higher (and
chances are, it is in these springtime months).
Lift saturated area rugs and other removable
floor coverings, and place outside away from your home. Warning: Wet
rugs are extremely heavy and will require more than one person to
lift.
Grab a towel, and wipe all wet furniture dry. If
you own any cinder blocks, place them underneath all furniture to
minimize water damage. If you have no cinder blocks, wrap towels
around furniture legs, or line sheets of aluminum foil underneath
them. Remove sofa cushions and chair cushions, and elevate them to
allow air to dry them from all sides.
Survey all curtains and draperies throughout the
house. If they're skimming any wet floors, lift them and either tack
them up or place them over a coat hanger hooked onto the curtain
rod.
If you spot any wet fabrics throughout your home
-- whether it be sheets, tablecloths, blankets or other coverings --
remove them and place them outside for drying.
Gather all precious valuables, such as important
documents, family photos, paintings and/or sculptures, and family
heirlooms to a dry, safe place. And make a mental note to buy a
weather-proof safe for your smaller valuables and important
documents.
Remove damp books, and spread them out to dry.
Hang damp clothes up to dry. Materials such as
leather are particularly sensitive to outside weather variables, so
it's best to keep them indoors at room temperature.
Open doors throughout the house, including
bedroom doors and closet doors, to speed the drying process. Your
rule of thumb should be to open anything that can be opened --
whether it's a drawer, cupboard, window or interior door -- to
maintain air circulation.
