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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Water takes the path of least resistance therefore it can be difficult to know determine exactly where it has gone. Our trained technicians come prepared and equipped with the proper equipment needed to accurately detect, identify and test moisture readings and water saturation levels. This allows for a more thorough and accurate moisture detection analysis which, in turn, helps to determine what areas may be affected and how we can begin with the water extraction and dry out process.

 

 

Infrared cameras, when used in water damage situations, work by detecting differences in temperatures caused by moisture evaporation. Using these cameras gives our technicians a good idea as to where the water saturation may be. At this point, our technicians use a moisture reading meter which measures the level of saturation needed to identify the most saturated area to the least saturated area.

 

 

After thorough documentation of all moisture readings, ambient readings, measuring and sketching the affected area, our technicians are able to provide you with an accurate calculation detailing the exact equipment, such as air moves, dehumidifiers and air scrubbers needed. Therefore, we are able to efficiently and properly perform the water extraction, flood water clean up and to dry out the area as quickly as possible.
