Flood Damage Cleanup

When water damage strikes your property you need to take action IMMEDIATELY! Here’s why… If you delay in removing water or sewage it will cause secondary damage. This will increase the likelihood of MOLD growth or other health hazards. The next thing you know, the time necessary to restore your property and also the cost of fixing the damage will increase. Wet carpet is just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ when you suffer from water damage.  It is very important to properly remove the water and dry the entire underlying structure immediately in order to prevent potential MOLD growth and to save you time, money and heartache!

WITHIN MINUTES: Water contamination spreads to unaffected areas; stains released from furniture (especially antiques) discolor carpet permanently; moisture-sensitive surfaces on furniture turn white; paper goods are ruined due to moisture absorption and swelling; pre-existing (animal) odor becomes apparent.

WITHIN HOURS: Furniture in direct contact with water delaminates, swells, legs begin to split, drawers bind; Sheetrock swells and disintegrates; wallpaper adhesives release; bacterial odor (souring) becomes apparent.

WITHIN DAYS: Mildew appears (hyphae), along with characteristic “musty” odor; moisture-sensitive internal components in pianos and organs begin to swell in the presence of condensed moisture; metal surfaces begin to rust; door and window casings swell and distort or delaminate.

WITHIN WEEKS: Mildew associated with prolonged dampness sinks roots (mycelium) into organic materials (jutebackings, paper coverings on sheetrock, paneling, wood, etc.); wholesale damage to structure and contents is experienced.

Water damage can be the starting point for many serious problems that can affect a building, damage personal property and present serious health risks to occupants.

To restore your property and protect your families health, a professional restoration contractor or water removal expert must be used to carefully manage the project. They need to be knowledgeable in several disciplines… stopping bacteria from spreading, preventing mold growth, preventing secondary damage, plus saving the structure and its many contents.

Sometimes water flows down the inside of wall cavities. Other times standing water will wick up a wall. Unless water stains appear this moisture could go undetected until molds and odor problems occur. This is one of the reasons a professional is equipped with the proper instruments to detect and locate wet areas before the drying process begins. Today’s restoration is more than just drying wet carpets.

During sewage backups or other “black water loss”, large amounts of bacteria can enter the interior environment and pose potentially serious health risks to the occupants. In fact, the bacteria introduced into the structure can stay active for up to one month if left untreated. Advanced restoration methods are employed to rid the structure of all traces of sewage and make the structure clean and safe for occupancy.
