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.

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 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.
