How Wall and Drywall Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Plato

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph painted board before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
