When your home is afflicted with storm damage, sewage damage, or clean water damage, immediate action is required to remove the water and reduce the damage and the loss. The key in water removal and restoration is for you to try and do it yourself. Water damage restoration is a serious undertaking and not to be studied lightly. If not done properly, by appropriately skilled and experienced, water removal restoration experts, you could at the least fail to fix the problem, as well as at worst cause greater damage than there was to begin out with and suffer greater losses.
Whether the water damage you suffer is clean water from broken water lines, rain water or storm damage, or sewage damage, the most beneficial thing you can do for yourself as a homeowner is hire a professional water damage repair and restoration service to handle it for everyone. Most damage is split into three main categories: Category 1 is clean water damage, Category 2 is water from an origin that is possibly contaminated, and Category 3 is what’s called “black water”, being caused by problems like sewage backup.
Whatever the cause and type of water damage, nowhere does the term “the right tool for the job” as much, meaning that an in depth and complete job requires the right equipment. Renting this equipment yourself could be prohibitively expensive, however the steep learning curve in making use of it. Water damage restoration experts, by contrast, have all the equipment for the job, and are more effective how to in order to.
When it comes to selecting the right professional water restoration repair service for use on your needs, it’s vital that look at just what services each company offers. Some companies will only offer water removal, for example, while others may offer any number of other services, like structural drying, sewage cleanup and backup, digital metering, thermal imaging and most. Some water damage restoration professionals will even offer assistance with insurance claim filing. And without an insurance claim to file, the cost of restoration can be considerably higher.
An incomplete job not thoroughly performed can leave lingering moisture behind in walls, insulation, and elsewhere. This provides a breeding ground for molds which, combined with damaging one of the most valuable assets, your home, also can harm one of your other most valuable assets, your body. Drying the space by opening windows and doors, and blowing the air conditioner is simply insufficient. Never the less, a prepared home owner should keep a stock of rubber gloves, boots, and an experienced wet/dry vac around for just such an incident.
