To aid in paper drying in Skokie, IL, water damaged books and water damaged paper documents should be frozen as quickly as possible. Subzero temperatures inhibit both mold growth and the deterioration of water damaged documents, books, and magazine stock (coated paper), minimizing the tendency for these materials to form into an inseparable block. In an extreme winter emergency, water damaged paper documents and water damaged leather books can be stored out of doors as long as they are not exposed to temperatures above freezing or excessive moisture, i.e. snow or sleet.
