Follow these recommendations to reduce water damage after a flood.
1
Disconnect electronics
As soon as it is safe to do so, disconnect all electronics/electrical equipment and move it to a dry location.
2
Address standing water
Remove as much standing water as possible from inside the building.
3
Save salvageable materials
Remove water-damaged materials immediately.
4
Dry out soaked areas
Ventilate with fans or use dehumidifiers to dry out the house.
5
Act quickly
Acting quickly can increase the chance of salvaging usable materials, reduce the amount of rust and mold that might develop, and limit the likelihood of structural problems.
