The destruction due to water damage is often severe and requires an immediate response from a professional 24 hour water restoration company.
Excess moisture and other common water damage scenarios can cause sustained damage to both your property and your health, especially if the water is unsanitary or is left standing, leading to water contamination.
If you have or suspect damage, stop reading this and call us so that we can quickly and efficiently help you assess your situation and confirm next steps.
Before water damage can be properly treated, it’s essential to identify the source of the damage.
Common sources of water damage are often obvious:
Other water damage scenarios may not be as easy to identify and will stay unaddressed for a more extended period-of-time, eventually leading to equally serious damage and the need for comprehensive professional damage restoration.
The first precondition of successful water restoration is an emergency contact and addressing the damage as soon as possible to identify the best course of action while you are waiting for us to arrive. Direct communication with you makes the water damage restoration process fast and efficient.
Inspection and determination of the affected areas and degree of contamination is key to a successful restoration process.
Our professional crew carefully assesses the amount of property damage and develops an immediate water mitigation plan.
Water extraction with pumps and vacuums will prevent any further damage, and our commercial equipment contributes to a substantial decrease in drying time. Pumps and vacuums are followed by air movers and dehumidifiers to remove the remaining moisture and risk of unnoticed damage to your home.
Cleaning and sanitizing furniture, carpets and additional belongings will prevent any residual effects from the damage, before our reconstruction team repairs your home back to the pre-damage condition.
Other water damage scenarios may not be recognized right away causing water damage to stay
unaddressed for a more extended period-of-time. For example, hosts may not notice the leaks due to
bad connections on the downspout, cracked or collapsed sewer pipes, water supply line and roof leaks,
warm floor pipe leaks, etc. or may not pay attention to the rainwater standing on their flat roofs or
balconies. While less obvious, these types of water damage might be not less dangerous and require
professional water damage restoration. This way, a good practice is to call professionals to inspect your
home any time you suspect water damage.
Professionals distinguish between several types of water damage, which require diverse approaches to water cleanup and mitigation. These types are
Category 1 clean water (most often, this is water due to tub or sink overflows)
Category 2 grey water (this is water containing chemicals; you might experience this category of water damage when your dishwasher or a washing machine breaks up, and the water from it overflows), and
Category 3 black water (flood and sewage water damage or category 2 water left unattended; such water is heavily contaminated and poses serious health risks)
While there is always some risk that you do not adequately address the water damage, trying to clean up black water on your own is extremely hazardous. It is important that water damage restoration includes not only the water cleanup but also disinfection.
When your home has experienced a flood or an overflow, or you suspect water damage in the areas that you cannot easily access, it’s essential to call in experts in water damage restoration as soon as possible.
