Here are some handy water removal tips for you.

* Use mop or towels to remove as much water as possible. Never use household vacuum cleaner for extracting the water, it can be completely damaged. For removing water, there is special water extraction equipment.

* Switch of the main electricity supply. At times, we have plugs installed at floor level; this can even harm your wife.

* Properly wipe and dry all the furniture and allow the base to dry.

* Remove the wet area rugs, carpets and other loosen floor coverings and hand them over rope for drying in the sun. It is wiser to lift the carpet with professional help, a mishandled one can damage the backing.

*At the earliest remove the wet fabrics and dry them at the earliest.

* In your closet, sidewall cabinets, remove all the drawers and if the water has crept in them, then remove the things and let them dry.
* Place all your wet upholstery over the drapery rod; this will fasten the drying process.

*If all the magazines, newspapers and books have got wet, then it is wiser to spread them out and let them dry.

Once you have removed everything, it becomes easier for you to take the water off from the room. It is wiser to open all the windows and doors of your home, so that the water can move out. Further, this will accentuate the drying process. For professional assistance, call us today.

Good information, another tip to help with the drying process is to open a couple of doors or windows to the outside if the humidity is lower than inside. Create air movement and circulation to help assist evaporation.
