Mop and blot in order to remove as much water as you can.

Shop vacuums or the companies that only have carpet drying equipment can’t prevent the water from damaging the walls, under molding or baseboards. The water penetrates through the floor coverings in to the subfloors, and it eventually causes the damage to the rooms located below.

If the internal humidity of the building isn’t controlled, the undamaged objects that are safe from original flood damage can get ruined because it is absorbing moisture from the air. The structures that are not dried properly or fast enough will serve as food sources for mold. This will later lead to a more expensive mold removal services.
