Theres a proverb that after the fire something remains but after the flood there is nothing. For sure no one will argue with that simple truth if he at least once met such a problem the flood in the building. Everything in the room is wet and you can do nothing with it. It is good when water that appeared everywhere in your favorite clothes, in the carpets and in the walls was clean. And if the water came from canalization, cleaning water damage will become really a serious problem. But in any case you have to do everything to make your house beautiful again and to save the things inside.
It is good if you have the opportunity to call the water damage company. In this case you can relax just after the arrival of a specialist. He has special equipment - fans and dehumidifiers and other useful things that will make the process of cleaning water damage quick and effective. Besides he will assess damage and you can go to court for redress if you think that water damage was caused by someones indiscretion. But before the coming of a worker you can do your best yourself to save the most part of expensive things in the room.
Remember that cleaning water damage in the sitting room is not the same as in the basement for example. Carpet water damage, basement water damage and drywall are different kinds of jobs and you have to start from the most precious things or from the most ruined once.
If you have noticed that carpets in the house are wet through, dont be upset. If you act quickly, you will save all the carpets and make them fresh and new again. First of all you have to remove all the furniture from the carpet and then clean it with wet/dry vacuum cleaner. If it is possible, take the carpet out of the room it will become dry quicker in the fresh air. Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry it as fast as possible or the mold can appear in it and in this case you will throw the carpet away.
Another problematic place to save if it was suffered from flood is the basement. Cleaning water damage is not easy there. In fact it is quite wet there all the time and after the great amount of water the mildew for sure will affect the walls and the floor in the basement. In this case you have to clean the walls and the floor with special detergents and put dehumidifier inside till everything will become dry.
After the flood your house needs help and as a real friend you have to save it and make it nice again!
