Water Damage Restoration FAQ's
What causes water damage?
Surface water and internal water are the most frequent causes of water damage. Rain, flood, fire sprinkler discharge, and other surface sources all-cause surface water. Internal water is generally a leaking roof or plumbing that goes unnoticed for an extended period of time before making itself known as dampness on the walls.
What can water damage do to my belongings?
Water can harm a variety of items. Mold growth can occur if the item isn’t dried/dehumidified promptly, resulting in damage to your possessions and spores that are proven to cause allergic attacks and respiratory illnesses. Water also rusts metal and warps wood if allowed to run long enough.
What type of damage can water cause?
Surface and internal water damage are two types of water damage. Surface water is the simplest to repair because it usually runs off of surfaces such as walls, floors, ceilings before seeping into items on its way down.
Internal water is a more challenging issue since it frequently seeps into cracks in things over time, making its presence known only when it has become an issue.
What are some causes of water damage?
Water damage can be caused by a variety of factors, some of which are internal and others that are external to your property. Leaky roofs, cesspool pump failures that cause sewage backflow, flooding (both locally and nationally), fire sprinkler system leaks, overflowing bathtubs, sinks, and toilets are just a few examples of common causes of water damage.
Is it possible to know where the water damage is coming from?
Yes, in certain situations. If your basement is flooded or there is a sewage backflow, it’s more likely to be coming from the outside of your property (unless it’s plainly apparent). If you have an internal leak, such as a burst pipe, the source of the water may be within your home.
Is there anything I can do to prevent water damage?
Prevention is always preferable to cure. If you have a foundation leak, it will keep coming back if you have a wall pipe that has broken. Water damage can be prevented by following these common procedures:
Have a professional plumber check for any leaks in your pipes; Examine the foundation of your home or company for cracks, leaks, and other hazards; If you have the potential of sewage backup into your house, install a backflow preventer on your sewer line.
How do I clean up water damage?
The greatest thing to do is to call a professional water damage repair company. It may appear difficult, but hiring a professional is the quickest approach to get your property back to normal. We advise that you not attempt to clean anything yourself since you run the risk of doing additional harm or being electrocuted by exposed wires.
What is my property at risk for after I have had water damage?
Mold may grow in your house or business if water damage occurs within 24-48 hours after the event. Mold will develop on any wet surface and can hide behind walls or under flooring. As a result, it’s critical to act quickly to prevent mold from developing by drying out your property as soon as possible.
How do water damage restoration companies restore my property after I have had water damage?
There are several different ways to get rid of dampness from your property or company, but it’s vital to understand that not all methods function in the same way nor provide comparable outcomes.
Air Scrubbers; Dehumidifiers; Removing wet stuff (flooring, drywall, etc.); Extractors; Water extraction using a truck-mounted equipment; Wood drying or replacement in crawlspaces and attics are some of the most popular techniques for repairing your property after water damage.
Do I need to use the same company that did the repairs that caused the damage?
Many people believe they must use the company that performed the repairs, but this is not usually necessary. Most water damage firms have a lot of expertise dealing with water and smoke-related issues and can restore your property after you’ve had water damage (we do encourage you to use them for the restoration if you had internal water damage in your home or business)
What are some signs that I have a mold problem?
The most typical symptom of a mold infestation in your home is black spots or marks on any surface, but the greatest way to tell if you have mold is to call a professional water damage restoration firm. They will be able to check the material in your house or business for moisture levels and detect any potential mold that may be there.
Is it possible to get rid of mold myself?
It is not simple to remove mold on your own; if not impossible. The greatest thing you can do is call a professional water damage repair firm and have the mold removed as soon as possible.
What are some ways I can prevent mold?
The most popular technique is to remove any visible moisture as soon as possible, repair any leaks, and treat or dry out wet materials such as carpeting, drywall, and so on. If you replace anything make sure it’s completely dry before putting it back in place. Keeping the humidity level in your house or company under 60% can also help.
How do I know if a water damage restoration company is qualified?
The finest thing you can do when employing a water damage repair company is to go with one that has prior experience and a solid reputation. We advise checking with family, friends, coworkers, or neighbors to see whether they have used a water damage repair firm before. You may also look for reviews of various water damage companies on the internet.
