Placing aluminum foil between furniture legs and wet flooring such as hardwood or carpet.

In the North West, rain storms occur throughout the year. If your home or business experiences any water damage from a flood, rain storm, or burst pipe here are a few tips in regard to wet carpet flooring...

If the affected room is carpeted, there are a few things you can do to prevent further damage to your carpet that might not be obvious if you’ve never been through a flood before.

• 1st Tip: Remove books, newspapers, magazines, or other porous items from wet carpets/rugs.
• 2nd Tip: Place aluminum foil between furniture legs and wet carpeting/rugs.
• 3rd Tip: Do not leave colored area rugs on wet carpets (or white rugs on wet colored carpets). Color transfer from one can stain the other.
