Water Damage Water damages requires immediate attention to minimize further losses. Our water damage process consists of a complete inspection of the facility to determine the best manner to handle the loss. The key is drying the location as quickly as possible to prevent sub-surface damage to the porous areas including wood, drywall and carpet. |
Our Goal To take what is wet and either remove it or dry it. Take the situation out of emergency mode as quickly and safely as possible. We have the equipment and the knowledge to take you from an emergency situation to a safe living condition. Some people think its just a matter of the carpet being wet. Its much more than that, its the carpet pad (which acts like a sponge) that is also wet, its the sub floor under the carpet pad that is wet, its the bottom of the drywall, its the studs behind the dry wall and its the insulation behind the dry wall. Effects of abnormal water: Water indoors is an abnormal condition and can cause or contribute to a number of problems. The damage and health implications increase the longer materials remain wet. There are at least four progressive stages of indoor water damage as follows: 1. Water migrates into areas not originally affected. Water spreads laterally into adjoining rooms penetrates materials below and wicks up into porous material above. It is best to evaluate all affected areas, not just areas with visible saturation. 2. Saturated materials begin swelling as the absorb moisture. In many situations drying and Restoration will restore them, and in other the damage may be permanent. Rapid drying will help reduce the chance of permanent damage. 3. As water evaporates it cause an abnormal humidity condition. High Humidity can damage some porous materials if allowed to continue. Humidity damage is most common when indoor humidity exceeds 60% over time. It is best to reduce the indoor humidity quickly to help prevent humidity damage. 4.After water intrusion , mold and bacterial spores germinate and multiply. Given acceptable growth conditions, one organism can multiply to more than one billion organisms in less than 24 hours. Microorganisms can cause mold damage and degrade indoor air quality. Some microorganisms product antigens and allergens which cause allergies while other can cause infections and toxic deceases. |
