How do we clean up water damage in a flooded basement?

How do we clean up water damage in Henderson?

Typically, a common area that floods in homes is in the basement or crawl space. Water can run into these areas more easily. Coincidentally, this is also where customers keep their most beloved items and keepsakes. The best way to protect your home and contents is to call a professional. After water damage, the last thing a customer wants is to have mold. Water damage requires a professional to make sure you steer clear of possible mold damage. 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.
