It has been a wet few days in the Valley.  My house has remained dry, but I have been perfecting my water removal skills via shop vac, squeegee and more at our church.

Below are some helpful recommendations from Spotless if you are dealing with water in your house...

1. Be Safe
    
   
2. Get valuables to a dry area or put up on blocks
    
   
3. Do what you can to remove Water - shop vacs, squeegees, etc. (I know it’s very tough without professional equipment)
    
   
4. Remove all wet carpet and anything else that holds water
    
   
5. The next step would be removing baseboards(trim) around the floor that got wet.

Getting as much wet stuff out of the area so the humidity in the space can start coming down is the top priority ASAP

The final stage is drying and monitoring should be done by a professional to prevent secondary damage (I.e mold and mildew).

Unfortunately companies only have so much drying equipment.
