In the unfortunate case that you encounter damage from a flood, it is critical to act as soon as possible with the flood cleanup. Water damage restoration is a very complex course of actions. Many of the variables used in water damage and restoration depend on the type of water that has flooded your home / place of business. Many of the typical types of flood damage are caused by sewer backups, broken pipes, damaged roofs, rain water overflow, or just damaged appliances that cause flooding.
Water restoration and mold clean up can be extremely strenuous on the building owner. It is important to have an emergency restoration company come out to analyze the structural damage from the water. Mold thrives in wet/warm environments so it is crucial to have a prompt flood restoration service.
When suffering from a water damage problem, a quick response is the most critical course of action. Drying flooded carpet is something that needs to be done by a certified water removal specialist. Where abnormal moisture is present in the wet carpet, microorganisms will rapidly multiply and cause structural damage, create odors, and cause health issues to those occupying the building or home.
An estimate of 40% of all residential houses has a mold problem.
The first step to take for a flooded house is removing the water from the carpet and pad.
In the drying process we turn all the flood water into a gas (a vapor).
We utilize state of the art equipment to dry and save the foundation of your home or business.
When experiencing a water emergency it is helpful to understand the drying process or the science of drying. Basically too much water in your business or home will cause severe damage. The initial damage that water can do is devastating. It destroys some things that are irreplaceable, like pictures and keep sakes. Secondary damage can be equally devastating. Some examples of secondary damages are; microbial growth, fungus, mold, and odor, decaying wood or sheet rock and mildew. These are not only unsightly but harmful to your heath and can be extremely costly to repair if left untreated.
One of the greatest factors of preventing black mold is the humidity level. If you have high humidity in your geographical region you should always be cautious of hidden mold spores.
A relative humidity level over 55% greatly increases the chance of toxic mold growth. Having a relative humidity sensor in certain areas of your house will help you monitor the environment which mold is likely to grow.
If you notice you do have a high humidity level it is a good idea to run dehumidifiers and perhaps air purifiers if mold is present. During the summer, in high temperatures, you may notice a mildew smell, especially if your air conditioner is not running. This could be due to mold in the sheetrock, sub floor, carpet, carpet padding or many other areas.
