After water damage, it is important to avoid doing certain things that can make the damage worse. Here are some things you should avoid doing after water damage:

• Do not use a regular vacuum: A regular vacuum is not designed to handle water. If you use a regular vacuum to try to remove standing water, you could damage the vacuum and put yourself at risk of electrical shock.
• Do not use a hairdryer: A hairdryer is not designed to handle water. If you use a hairdryer to try to dry out the affected area, you could damage the hairdryer and put yourself at risk of electrical shock.
• Do not use a space heater: A space heater is not designed to handle water. If you use a space heater to try to dry out the affected area, you could damage the space heater and put yourself at risk of a fire.
• Do not use bleach: Bleach is not effective at killing mold. If you use bleach to try to kill mold, you could make the problem worse by spreading the mold spores.
• Do not remove moldy materials: If you have mold growth, it is important to leave the moldy materials in place. Removing the moldy materials can spread the mold spores and make the problem worse.
