You
can save storm-damaged family photos and artwork. Contact a
professional as soon as possible because different types of
art require different treatment. In the meantime, the most important
thing you can do is prevent mold or mildew. The following remedies
are suggested:
- Remove photos from frames and spread them face-up on
paper towels, blotters or clean cloths to dry. If photos
are stuck to the frame or to each other, try freezing them
in plastic bags. If freezing several photos, separate them
with wax paper.
- For paintings, remove backing board and absorb moisture
by dabbing them with paper towels on reverse side of canvas.
- Lean paintings against a table or a chair to allow free
airflow.
