What is Water Damage Restoration and Why Does Professional Expertise Matter?
Whether from broken pipes, HVAC leaks, sewage backups, or bad weather, water is a highly destructive force. If a structure has minimal water intrusion, it may be possible to fix the problem yourself. However, when a home or business has flood damage or another water intrusion that was undetected for some time, it is important to call South Florida water damage restoration experts Suncoast Contractors Emergency Service Inc. as soon as possible. While flooding is an understandably stressful event, the more time that passes before the intervention, the more secondary damage occurs.
What is Water Damage Restoration?
Water damage restoration is a specialized, time-sensitive process of removing water and returning a residential or commercial property to its pre-damaged condition. Restoration experts utilize advanced technology to detect and remediate mold and remove odors resulting from water damage.
How Fast Can Water Damage Harm a Structure?
When water is introduced into the environment, it spreads rapidly and begins to be absorbed by soft materials such as wood, walls, flooring, furnishings, and more. Most people are astonished to learn that affected materials will begin to mold, rot, warp, swell, and degrade within the first 24-48 hours.
Why is Professional Water Damage Restoration Important?
After a water event, there are some important reasons why contacting water mitigation and restoration experts is a good idea.
- Experts can identify hidden and visibly impacted areas and the extent of damage
- Experts use powerful extraction equipment and drying technologies to remove the water ASAP and prevent further damage
- Some types of water can carry pathogens and be dangerous to manage.
- Proper water clean-up safeguards health
- Professional services help facilitate insurance claims
- Professional water damage repair saves time and money
The Suncoast Contractors Water Damage Restoration Process
Dealing with flooding is more than just removing water. It is a process that should include techniques that identify the true extent of damage, remove potential health hazards safely, and restore the structure to its pre-event condition as quickly as possible.
This is why extracting large volumes of water and dealing with water damage is best done by professionals with the right tools, technologies, and processes to get the job done right. The Suncoast process includes:
Assessment
Suncoast professionals arrive promptly and perform a complete inspection of the water damage. During this process, a technician will note the size of the affected area, class of water damage, and category of water present.
Water Removal
Technicians remove excess water using professional-grade water extraction technologies.
Water Damage Mitigation and Drying
Mitigation includes removing unsafe and unsalvageable construction materials and contents. Once the technicians remove damaged materials, they apply air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the environment.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
After the mitigation process, technicians clean, sanitize, and deodorize the contents and the structure.
Microbial Growth Prevention
When prudent, technicians apply microbial growth inhibitors to the affected areas. This will help ensure mold does not form. This may also involve placing air scrubbers to clean the air.
Water Damage Repair and Restoration
Once dry, clean, and sanitized, Suncoast experts restore the structure to a pre-damaged condition. This may be as simple as replacing drywall and painting or as complex as a major reconstruction.
