Stop the water spreading
Try and stop the water flowing into other areas, you can do this by blocking it with towels or linen.
Remove wooden furniture
Where and if safe to do so, take any wooden furniture out of the wet room and into a dry area to prevent permanent damage to the furniture.
We will be arriving shortly
As soon as we get to your property we will remove any excess water and begin flooring and carpet water damage restoration immediately to avoid any further damage, it is very important to start this process as quickly as possible as delays may make your house more costly to restore.
Don’t make these mistakes
Don’t think it is dry enough, wet carpet may feel dry on the surface but the underlay and floor may still be damp, so make sure you get it checked out by a professional.
Don’t leave it til too late, the quicker it is dried the less likely that permanent staining will occur
Don’t think it will dry out eventually; mould spores will start developing if it is not dried properly. Make sure you get your house professionally dried.
