If you're ever the victim of flood damage, the following practical tips can help you prioritize and allocate what's best left to the services of a professional:

• Call a Voge, Inc. Construction & Remodeling as soon as you discover water damage. Bacterial growth begins immediately following a flood.
• do not vacuum wet floors or carpets; you're placing yourself at risk for electric shock. Besides, the removal of water from floors and carpets requires specialized machinery. Vacuum cleaners are inadequate for the job.
•  if you encounter standing water in any room, do not enter if the electricity is still on. Wait until a professional arrives on the premises.
•  Turn on your ceiling fans, box fans and oscillating fans throughout the house to aid in the drying process. If your house has an air conditioning system, turn it on at the lowest temperature your utility bill can stand. If your water damage is incurred during the winter months, turn on your heating system.
• Blot as much of the water as you can with large beach towels. Mop the floors to lessen the possibility of see page and mildew accumulation.
