Water Damage in your Henderson Basement

8/1/2022 (Permalink)

Do you know what to do when your basement floods?

When you walk into your basement and step on that first step to see water pooling under your feet it can be overwhelming. There are several ways to react when water damage is in your home. We don't want your cleanup process to be anything but easy! Here are some techniques you can use to make the process easier before we arrive:

• Use wooden clothespins to hang up clothes, children’s stuffed animals, and photographs that may have been affected.
• Make sure that furs and leather items dry separately and at room temperature.
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture and wet carpeting.
• Remove upholstery and cushions for drying.
• Remove any excess water by mopping or blotting until we arrive.
