Restoring your home or business after water damage can be frustrating. Fortunately, natural disasters do not occur every day, and you will probably never have to deal with water damage from rising water or flooding. However, more common are simple plumbing leaks or overflows. While dealing with water may seem as simple as just using a mop or wet vacuum to get the water up, unfortunately, this does not take into consideration the extent to which water can travel and penetrate into structural cavities and assemblies, creating trapped pockets of saturation. All too often, property owners become aware of the on-going effect of undetected water on structural and content materials, which may include discoloration, warping, splitting, swelling, delamination, musty odor, and fungal growth.
The consequences of ineffective restoration, including possible health effects, are far too great. Water is considered the longest lasting and destructive substance to an indoor environment. This is because water supports the growth of microorganisms, it weakens and dissolves various materials and since it flows, water is capable of carrying allergens and pathogens that are hazardous to humans. Many property owners do not know the essential steps and strategies required for proper restoration. Naturally, they have many questions and concerns that are best answered by a certified water damage restoration professional who has been trained and has experience. Removing excess water efficiently, promoting effective evaporation, and establishing the dehumidification conditions necessary to stop on-going damage are key to preventing further damage. Additionally, they can document the return of the property and contents to normal conditions.
