The first step in water removal in Minnesota is you’ll also want to try and mop up or wipe up any excess water on the surfaces that have been affected. Pipe freezing or water from frozen water pipes can cause additional issues being located in a wall but do your best soak it up. DO NOT lay down newspaper on wet surfaces as this may cause permanent staining. Make sure not to use any type of household vacuum cleaner on any wet surfaces, however, if you have a shop vac, feel free to clean up excess water with it. Make sure to dump all water outside, away from the foundation of the building. For sewage back up in your basement, lets us handle this for you.
Make sure to wipe down all surfaces, if possible, including furniture. Doing so may save you from having to replace these items. If you are able, place aluminum foil underneath the feet of your furniture or tupperware bowls if there is a lot of excess water. This will keep water from wicking up into the legs of your furniture. If your furniture items are too heavy to lift, do not lift them. Our technicians will take care of it when they arrive.
