Restoring your home after water damage is a frustrating experience.
Fortunately, natural disasters don't occur every day, and chances
are you'll never have to deal with water damage from rising water or
flooding. However, simple plumbing leaks or overflows are far more
common. While dealing with water damage may seem fairly simple (mop
or wet vacuum; fans used to promote evaporation), unfortunately,
this fails to consider the degree to which water can penetrate into
structural cavities and assemblies, creating trapped pockets of
saturation. Too late, property owners become aware of the on-going
effect of this trapped water on structural and contents materials,
which may include: discoloration, warping, splitting, delamination,
and musty odor and mold growth.
The
consequences of ineffective restoration - including possible health
effects - are far too great to leave water damage improperly
restored. Most property owners are not familiar with the essential
steps and tactics for proper restoration, and naturally, they have a
lot of questions. That's where the certified water restoration
professional comes in. He or she will be qualified through formal
training and experience to remove excess water efficiently, to
promote efficient evaporation and to establish the dehumidification
conditions necessary to stop on-going damage. Moreover, they can
document the return of your property and contents to normal
conditions to ensure that future problems will not be experienced. |
