Water Damage

In the event of water damage, do the following:

• Stay calm! Call Rainbow International.
• Make sure the water source is turned off. This will help contain the damage.
• Turn off the breaker in the damaged area before you unplug or remove any electrical devices located on the wet carpet.
• Place aluminum foil under legs of any furniture which is in contact with wet carpet. This might help prevent furniture stains on your carpet.
• Lift draperies away from wet carpet.
• Pin up upholstered furniture skirts which may get wet.
• Remove 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.
