If we can offer you, the customer, a suggestion...the first is to call Rainbow Phoenix! Failing to do so in the events of water damage can lead to astronomical home damage and overwhelming expense.

THE FIRST 24 HOURS ARE CRUCIAL!

• 
  First and foremost is to STAY CALM!
  
• 
  Turn off any running water immediately.
  
• 
  Shut off only the breaker in the damaged area before unplugging or removing any electrical devices located on the wet carpet.
  
• 
  Place aluminum foil under legs of any furniture which is in contact with wet carpet. This will help prevent furniture stains on your carpet.
  
• Aluminum foil also hasten the drying process
• 
  Lift drapes away from wet carpet.
  
• 
  Pin up upholstered furniture skirts which may get wet.
  
• 
  Remove valuable contents such as books, shoes, paper goods, fabrics, potted plants, and other items which may stain wet carpet.
  

Do not attempt the following:

• 
  Don't use your home vacuum, since electrical shock may result, as well as certain damage to the equipment itself.
  
• 
  Don't place newspaper in traffic areas to walk on, since newspaper ink transfers easily to the wet carpet fibers and may result in permanent staining.
  
• 
  Don't walk on carpet any more than necessary. This will keep from spreading the damage to unaffected areas.
