Open your doors and windows and do anything you can to improve air flow.
Lift curtains out of the water using coat hangers.
Place foil under any wood sitting on wet carpet as it can stain the carpet.
Clear drain holes that have potentially been covered with debris.
Push any excess water out of the property with a broom.
