  • Put wet books, documents & photographs in the freezer and allow the water to turn into a solid (ice). This will help prevent the pages from warping and the ink from running, and through the process of Sublimation, the paper can be returned as close as possible to its original condition!
  • Electrolytes in water can carry electrical current! Avoid standing or coming into contact with pools of water inside your property.
  • Never permit the installation of air movers or dehumidifiers if you believe mold to be present. It may circulate the mold around the property making things much worse and creating a significant health hazard.
