At SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park, we recommend you pay attention to the weather and should the unexpected water intrusion happen, we want you to keep the following in mind:

• Remove excess water by mopping and blotting.
• Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.
• Remove and prop wet upholstery and cushions.
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.
• Turn air conditioning on for maximum drying in summer.
• Remove colored rugs from wet carpeting.
• Remove art objects to a safe, dry place.
• Gather loose items from floors.

Be proactive, not reactive! Identify your facility’s greatest threats in order to assess the overall severity of the event.

For a business owner or a homeowner, a worst-case disaster scenario involving water damage can seem unthinkable until it suddenly becomes a reality.
