Trusted Flood and Water Damage Restoration
When standing water comes into contact with porous building materials like drywall, wood, insulation, and flooring, these materials can absorb the water and lead to property damage. This damage includes warping, discoloration, swelling, and possible mold growth. Over time, the damage to these building materials will cause them to weaken and increase the risk of structural collapse. The development of mold can also lead to further structural damage as well as cause severe allergic reactions to anyone exposed to it. Upon arrival, our professional technicians will act quickly to contain the water and prevent it from spreading further throughout the property. Next, they will prepare a full assessment of the overall damage in order to devise a customized restoration plan. We will use water extraction equipment to thoroughly remove any standing water and excess moisture from the affected areas. Then we will use advanced drying and dehumidification equipment to effectively dry any furnishings and building materials exposed to the water. Finally, we will completely clean and sanitize the affected areas using powerful anti-microbial cleaning solutions.
