What a disaster!!!

What a disaster! Water can be a mighty and destructive force. And now your plasma television is dripping and your shoes are ruined. But those aren’t the things that have your heart breaking. It’s the antique photo of your grandparents on their wedding day setting right beside your own wedding photo and both are wrinkling and peeling as a photo album floats past you on the floor. Everything else is replaceable, but those moments captured in an image on paper can never be duplicated. They are your memories, your trips, your precious loved ones and your family history.
But all does not necessarily have to be lost! If you act quickly, it may be possible to save them. I found some good tips on how to minimize the amount of damage as well as where to send photos to be professionally restored. When disasters strike, most people feel helpless as to what they can do. A proactive approach would be placing photos and other memorabilia in airtight containers. But for the ones exposed to water, these tips will help.
