Don’t wait to call for help.  Damage from water occurs rapidly and
sometimes the difference between restoration and replacement is only a
few hours.  You’ll need a professional - call First Choice Cleaning Co.
immediately!
Don’t dispose of items until a restoration professional inspects,
documents and itemizes those belongings.  Many times our professionals
can restore these items that initially look beyond repair such as books,
art, clothes, furniture, electronics, documents and more.
Remove excess water as much as possible
by wiping with a large towel or mopping.
Please be careful!  Walking from carpet to
hard floor surfaces will be slippery.
Document the damage with notes and
photographs.  Be as detailed as possible.
Help water to drain from ceilings by making small holes to allow trapped
water to escape and drain into buckets and/or water containers.
Make sure you choose a restoration contractor that uses and applies
psychrometry (the science of structural drying).  This means choosing
only IICRC/Vortex Certified professionals that will adequately and
efficiently restore your property to a pre-loss condition.
