AdvantaClean of Fort Lauderdale How Much Should You Pay for Mold Removal | Page 15

Do’s
1) Control flooding source: It is logical to start the water mitigation process by addressing the
source of water flow. If you allow water to continue flowing and flooding the house, you’ll be
working in vain. So, examine your space to identify and neutralize the flooding source.
2) Protect your valuables: Valuables like paintings, family portraits, and personal documents
need to be protected during the restoration process. While it’s possible to repair your walls
and ceiling, it may not be possible to repair the valuables.
3) Aerate your space: You need to encourage airflow to hasten the drying process. It also helps
to discourage mold growth. You can power the ventilation system. You can also open up the
windows and doors.
4) Take out wet fabric: You cannot leave wet fabric inside the house. They can encourage mold
formation and spread. This is a health risk that you should always avoid.
5) Take pictures : You need to take pictures of the water damage to help you file your home
insurance claim. You should do this before you begin the cleanup. The pictures are critical
evidence to help hasten the compensation process.
