Heavy rain, bursting, or dripping pipes can damage your property walls and roof.

Wondering how to dry water-damaged walls quickly and thoroughly to prevent more problems, like mold growth?

Follow these 5 steps to dry your wet walls out:

1. Turn off the water stopcock if water breach resulted from a burst pipe.
2. Open all windows and doors or use fans to let the air circulate around the place.
3. Push furniture far from walls to increase airflow and don't rush putting them back until the walls get dry.
4. Remove any wallpapers.
