Most items can be repaired yourself, using wet/dry vacs and fans. However, for more water damage emergencies, you might need a professional, or some do-it-yourself tips to guide you through it. While doing it yourself can be money saving, getting your local clean up service or flood damage service in there, it can be more easier on you and your family. Especially if you are needing sewage cleanup. Here are some tips on how you can restore your water damaged property. * Remove as much water from things such as furniture, floors, papers, photo's, walls, doors, and any other appliances that got damaged in the property. * Circuit breakers should be shut off immediately. Just to be on the safe side and assure there will be no electrocuting in the home. * Make sure all of the electrical outlets are dry and covered, so that they do not get any wetter, while cleaning up. * Do not use electrical appliances in wet areas of the home or property. This could cause somebody to get electrocuted and really hurt. * Open all of the doors and windows, so that the air can start drying all of the items that got wet. If the items sit there wet, for a long period of time, it could get more damaged and even start forming mold and mildew. * Try moving your furniture out of the room or rooms, that have the water or sewage damage in it. Even if the furniture didn't get damaged, it still needs to be removed in order to keep it that way. If they are damaged, they need to be removed so no further damage or moisture gets to it or them.

2. * If ceilings and walls were damaged, keep out of the room just in case the ceiling caves in or the walls fall in. Extensive water damage can ultimately cause a ceiling to fall down in an instant. If this happens, call in a professional immediately. * Be sure to hang your curtains up to avoid them getting wet by the water damaged floors. If they have already gotten wet, take them down and wash them. If they are beyond cleaning, simply throw them out and get new ones when your home is fully cleaned. * Make sure all items are fully dried before bringing them back in. Having them still wet or damp can make for mildew and mold. Contaminated Water sewage damage: * If there is contaminated water damage, be sure to wear masks, so you do not inhale any type of contaminate. * Do not use any type of fan to dry the contaminated area. This could cause spreading of all types of germs. * Never use products that have been contaminated by the water damage. * Call in a professional
