Most people find themselves with a lot of unanswered questions, so we have complied this list of helpful hints and advice for you. Following these tips can help prevent further damage to your belongings and will help insure that your restoration can be completed quickly and smoothly.

• Stop the incoming flow of water
• Notify your property insurer
  • Ask what your responsibilities include
  • Begin the process of determining if your loss is covered and to what extent it is covered
• Remove as much water as possible by mopping and blotting
• Wipe excess water from wood furniture
• Place foil or plastic under furniture legs to prevent staining
• Hang furs and leathers to dry in a separate area at room temperature
