Evaluate Your Safety

• In an emergency, always consider the safety of
  your family before beginning the restoration
  process. If your home is flooded because of a
  storm or other natural disaster, evacuate
  yourself and your family until the danger has
  passed.
• If the water level is high enough to reach your
  electrical outlets, its high enough to create an
  electrical hazard. Smaller floods can create a
  slip-and-fall hazard, so make sure to wear
  protective shoes as well as gloves, masks, and
  eyewear before entering the affected areas.
• Verify that the electricity has been turned off
  if you decide to enter a flooded home or room.

Remove Excess Water

• If its safe to keep on, try to take out as much
  water as you can until help arrives.
• Never draw on a wet vacuum cleaner or any
  electrical appliances if you still have standing
  water in your home as this can be an electrical
  hazard.
• Removing as much water as you can before helps
  arrives will improve your chances of saving your
  home and reduce the risk of mold formation.
• For small floods and leaks, use a mop or towels
  to remove excess water from the affected area.

5
Discard of or Dry Wet Materials and Fabrics

• In some cases, its not easy to remove moisture
  from carpets, linens, mattresses, and fabric
  furniture.
• Most water removal experts will suggest removing
  and dumping these items because they will become
  breeding grounds for mold. Put wet books,
  magazines, artwork, and papers in the sun to dry.
• Save rugs, linens, and curtains by hanging them
  outside in the puff of air.
• If the water levels were high enough to saturate
  couch cushions and mattresses, consider these
  pieces ruined and remove them from the home.

6

  idea to have the number of a professional
  restoration company on hand just in case.
• By doing your research ahead of time, youll know
  just who to call when you have an emergency.

  licensed by your local business bureau.
