Carpet Drying Checklist
Please do away with the water source helping with the carpet drying process as quickly as possible.
- First, turn off all the circuit breakers supplying electricity to wet areas if they are safe. Then, remove any small electrical devices from these areas.
- Secondly, avoid walking on the wet carpet more than necessary to minimise damage.
- Third, remove any smaller furnishings from the carpet and place aluminium foil under the legs. This helps prevent rust or furniture stains, which may become permanent.
- Next, hang draperies and pin-up furniture skirts to avoid contact with wet floors, helping to prevent watermarks.
- Then, breakables, moisture-sensitive and high-value items, books, shoes, paper goods, fabrics, potted plants, and other issues that stain floor coverings should be removed. Also, remember to check under beds and furniture.
- Yet, plan for the crew to move furniture into unaffected and dry areas.
- Make sure to practice good personal hygiene after handling affected items.
- Of course, do not use a home vacuum or shop vac to remove water to avoid electrical shock.
- Lastly, if sewage-related, do not handle any contaminated items or turn on fans, heating, or air conditioning units as they may spread the contamination.
