Flood Water Cleanup
Flood Cleanup Services
Water damage, whether caused by heavy storms, flash floods, or burst pipes, can range from mild to severe. The longer building materials are exposed to wet conditions the more potential there is for harmful mold and mildew to develop and the more hazardous the situation becomes. Some water damage situations, such as sewage backups and toilet overflows, can create severe odor problems on top of the water damage that will require professional chemistry to resolve.
Flood Cleanup Service includes:
- We assess the damage
- We handle the insurance
- So you can sit back and enjoy your home while we take care of everything!
Water damage... from a leaking roof, a burst pipe, or an overflowing tub, can cause a considerable amount of damage to a home over a very short period of time. After you experience water damage, there is a very small window of time in which you need to begin to clean up to minimize the damage and to avoid mold growth. Because of this, you may need to begin the clean-up process before your insurance adjuster arrives to assess the damage. We maintain solid working relationships with major insurance companies and their adjusters to assist property owners throughout the claims process.
Benefits when you use our Water Damage Service:
1. We take care of your photographs to document the full extent of the damage.
2. We take care of your water damage mitigation and restoration.
3. We take care of assisting you with the entire water damage claims process for free of cost when you sign our water damage restoration services .
4. Finally, you will get worry-free and peace of mind restoration service and assistance with your insurance claim process.
Structural Drying
If you have experienced any flooding in your home, then pumping, draining, and mopping are just the beginning of the water removal process to prevent mold, decay, buckling, and other water damage.
Structural drying is often needed to prevent further water damage.
When properly done, structural drying uses state-of-the-art procedures and equipment to remove all excess moisture, no matter how deeply it’s traveled, in just a couple of days.
The first step is water removal by pumping, draining, mopping, and so on, followed by water extraction using powerful specially-designed vacuum equipment. Damp items such as clothes, furniture, and any other unsalvageable building materials are disposed of.
AIR MOVEMENT
Structural Drying is all about promoting evaporation, so that means lots of air movement to take away the water vapor that will soon fill the air. We use powerful high-volume axial fans and centrifugal air movers to get the job done right.
This is a non-invasive procedure to properly dry the structure without altering the building. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove baseboard and crown molding and make a series of small holes to dry structural framing quickly enough. After these adjustments are made, blowers designed for the higher air pressures then send in dryer air, forcing moist air out. When dried, the holes are later covered by replacing the baseboard and molding. In some extreme cases, it may be necessary to remove flooring, wallboards, and ceiling materials.
DEHUMIDIFICATION
To draw water vapor out from deep within the structure, indoor relative humidity needs to be kept low. Failing to control humidity may lead to mold and other problems in areas that weren’t harmed by the flooding.
Restoration companies use industrial high-volume refrigerant dehumidifiers specifically designed for water damage mitigation. They work by condensing water vapor out of the air by the gallon. Smaller areas make use of silica gel desiccants that can be used instead of the high-volume dehumidifiers.
Measurements and adjustments are taken frequently and are critical in keeping everything moving as rapidly as possible, as well as in determining that there’s negligible excess moisture left to remove. It is also possible to dry the building too quickly, resulting in damaged hardwood floors and other woodwork.
The moisture content, as well as measuring indoor air humidity of various building materials should be measured as well. Sometimes, thermal imaging is used to spot damp cooler areas, as well as bore-scopes to peer inside building cavities, can provide helpful information.
We provide structural dying for any type of dwelling, no matter what the flood size.
