How Vacant and Vacation Home Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Dorchester Center

• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph multiple rooms before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
