Water Everywhere? Here’s What To Do
Quick Tips To Protect Your Space
Water pooling on the floor or warping wood can feel overwhelming, but a calm and careful approach makes a difference. These tips will help you stay safe and reduce further damage.
Safety Comes First
If water is deep or rising, leave the space immediately and call for help from a safe location. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination, so avoid outlets and appliances in wet areas. Even shallow water can make floors slippery, and soaked furniture or belongings can be heavy, so move carefully to avoid injuries.
Post-Flood Checklist
Once the flooding is under control, there are steps you can take to protect your property and salvage what you can. Focus on removing water and protecting items from further harm:
- Remove any standing water by blotting or mopping to limit soaking and damage
- Take lamps and tabletop items off wooden furniture and dry the surfaces thoroughly
- Lift and hang wet cushions and upholstery whenever possible to allow proper airflow
- Protect furniture legs by placing blocks underneath or wrapping them in foil, especially on carpeted floors
- Use your air conditioning or heating to speed up drying depending on the season
- Take colored rugs off wet carpet to prevent dyes from bleeding and staining
- Move artwork, heirlooms, electronics, and other valuable items to a safe, dry location
- Pick up any loose items from the floor that could soak up water or get in the way of cleanup
What Not To Do After Flooding
Some actions can make water damage worse or put you at risk. Avoid these common mistakes to stay safe and protect your space:
- Do not leave wet fabrics lying around; hang everything to dry, especially leather or fur items, to prevent mold
- Avoid leaving books, magazines, or any colored items on wet floors, as they can bleed and stain surfaces
- Never use a regular vacuum to remove water; it’s a serious electrocution risk
- Do not turn on or attempt to use electrical appliances in affected areas
- Do not turn on ceiling fans in rooms with wet or sagging ceilings to prevent electrical or structural damage
- Stay out of rooms with wet or sagging ceilings; a weakened ceiling could collapse
How We Restore Your Space
The Water Damage Restoration Process
Every water damage situation is different, but the steps to restore your space are consistent. At The Carpet Center, our trained team follows a thorough process to limit damage, prevent mold, and get your home or business back to normal as quickly as possible.
Step 1
Emergency Contact
Call us as soon as you notice water damage. Have your address, contact information, insurance details, and information about the water source ready. Also, note whether electricity is still on at the site so our team can safely plan the restoration process.
Step 2
Inspection and Damage Assessment
A restoration specialist will examine the affected area, identify the water source, and stop it to prevent further damage. They will determine the type of water, survey the extent of the damage, and move or block furniture to protect it from further damage.
Step 3
Water Removal
We use industrial wet/dry vacuums, submersible pumps, extraction units, and dehumidifiers to remove standing water. The method depends on the severity, location, and cause of the flooding to ensure the area is dried efficiently.
Step 4
Drying and Dehumidification
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers help remove lingering moisture from flooring, baseboards, and building materials. This step is crucial to prevent mold, mildew, and long-term damage.
Step 5
Cleaning
Once the space has been appropriately dried, we’ll clean your floors and surfaces using methods safe for your flooring type. Our team uses a combination of dry cleaning, wet cleaning, foam cleaning, spray and wipe, abrasive cleaning, and immersion cleaning as necessary to restore your floors and surfaces.
Step 6
Restoration
The final step focuses on repairing and improving the affected areas to make your space safe and functional again. Depending on the damage, this could include floor repair or replacement, drywall installation, and other necessary fixes to help your home or business recover as much as possible.
Our goal is to make the water restoration process as stress-free as possible while protecting your floors and property. From the moment you call to the final touches of restoration, The Carpet Center is here to guide you through every step and bring your space back to life.
