Water Damage

The removal or extraction of water is the critical first step in dealing with water damage. So long as the property remains underwater or has high levels of moisture, it is impossible to start the restoration. Beyond that, this moisture will continue to bring you problems, for example, through encouraging the growth of mold spores that pose a risk to you and your family’s health. This is why with our water damage removal service we will make sure that your home is completely free of water before we work on repairing or restoring what was damaged.

Even after the stagnant water is removed, you can expect a lot of moisture left on your property. This is the reason why a complete drying of structures is vital. In case the water damage is minimal, this may be done by simply opening windows but for the work to be done quicker, we use dehumidifiers or blowers. By doing so, we will prevent the start of mold growth. To be sure of proper and full drying, we will move this equipment around your home.

Professional Cleaning for your Furnishings

In worse cases of water damage, there might be items in your property that get completely destroyed, hence the need to remove this debris. It might be water-soaked flooring, furniture or even carpeting that can no longer be saved and restored. However, if the carpet has been fully dried within 2 days of the water damage, then we can still clean it professionally and you may be able to reinstall it back to your place. As part of our water damage restoration service, we can also clean your carpets and fully dry them before putting them back.

Water damage removal is a painstaking process that will take time, work, and even the use of professional equipment to do it properly. It is only this way that you can have a good night’s sleep without worrying about mold growth or weakened foundation or structures due to water damage.

Water Damage Restoration

Water damage restoration is essential when broken pipes or flooding is experienced in the home. Once it

happens, it can cause havoc on your personal property. Beyond that, it might affect your health once mold develops. If you have water damage at your home, we will work on minimizing the damage to your property and restoring as many of your items as possible. This way, we are certain of preventing the deterioration of your valuable possessions.

Once we get out all remaining water in your property, it is time to get working on restoring your valuables. We will come in with professional drying and dehumidifying equipment to ensure proper and thorough drying. Without doing so, your personal items might be susceptible to secondary damage, possible growth of microbes, and potential costs down the road.

Water Damage Restoration Process

First of all, we will remove any carpeting or padding to allow for proper drying of your home. Water removal is not enough to remove all the moisture. This may hide behind your walls, under the flooring, or even in your vents and heating/air conditioning system. Therefore, dehumidifiers, as well as high-velocity air movers, will be used to remove any remaining moisture in the air. More than that, we will use special instruments to find any spots of water that may be hiding.

Second, it is also very important to ensure that your home is fundamentally kept intact, especially in the basement. Water damage can lead to leaks on the foundation or cracks. Therefore, proper drying of the basement is vital in keeping your home livable and structurally sound.

Third, in case of a flood, water runoff from the sewage might occur. Professional clean-up of sewage is a painstaking process and beyond drying the property, sanitation is a must in order to kill all the germs.

Fourth, beyond the restoration of the property and the major furniture pieces, it might also be necessary to save important original documents. We can also handle the drying, microbial disinfection, deodorization, and sanitation of your important papers.

Last, it is important to work on the carpeting as quickly as possible to avoid the growth of certain bacteria or fungi that normally begins 12 hours after removing. To ensure this does not happen, disinfecting the carpet may also be done. Proper and timely cleaning will also prevent the need for odor control.

We are expertly trained to handle water damage and professionally restore your home to its former glory. Because of the critical timeline that is necessary to avoid extensive problems with your property, give us a call as soon as you notice water damage so that we can do our magic.
