Moshe Amos

 

No one plans for water damage in their home, and its furthest away for New Yorkers – especially if you live in either a penthouse, condo, or co-op. Dealing with restoration, along with renovating in NYC, is like no other place in the world – NYTDR can help! Here are some tips to help.

  • Place wood blocks or aluminum foil between furniture legs and wet carpet so that it will stay in place
  • Do not leave colored items on the wet carpet or floors like books and magazines 
  • Do not turn on any appliances like a TV or ceiling fan and shut off any electronics if they were affected by water 
  • Disinfect anything that came into contact with the water 
  • Open all doors and windows to improve ventilation
  • Use a wet vacuum, fans, dehumidifiers, and desiccants to help dry out your home
  • Make a specific list of the damage that was caused by water damage and take pictures 
  • Check your insurance to see what is covered 
  • Do your research & hire trustworthy experts to refurbish your apartment successfully
