Water Damage & Restoration

If your property or apartment has just endured water damage, you're in the right place! We completely understand the stress of dealing with flood damage and the devastating effect it can have.

The damage caused by a flood can be of varying degrees depending on its severity. They can happen anytime due to rising levels of groundwater levels, burst pipe, leaking appliances, overflowing toilets, bathtubs and sinks, a leaky roof or natural events such as storms.

Immediate action is crucial to avoid any permanent or long term damage to the property and anything valuable. Our highly trained water damage specialists can restore your property in as little time as possible.

HERE’S HOW WE CAN HELP

Moisture Inspection and Assessment

Firstly, we’ll identify the source of water and stop it immediately. We use state-of-the-art moisture detection devices to discover the extent of water migration and damage. This information will help us assess the type of restoration process required for your property.

Water Extraction

The very first step to removing maximum water from your property is water extraction. This helps reduce drying time and subsequent water damage. Our advanced extraction tools can quickly vacuum hundreds and thousands of gallons of water.

Drying & Dehumidification

At this point, the floors and other areas may look dry at sight but may retain a substantial amount of moisture that will cause some materials to deform, swell, or break down or serious mold formation. We use advanced tools with moisture meters to monitor and track if everything is restored to the desired level of dryness.

Clean, Disinfect and Odor Treatment

Once your property is dry, you’ll probably require professional help in cleaning and restoring your other belonging like your upholstery, furniture, drywall, and other items. Furthermore, we can help eliminate and effectively treat unpleasant odors.

UNTIL THE HELP ARRIVES

Assess Safety

Conduct a safety assessment before entering the damaged area. Depending on the extent of the damage, it may not be safe for you to enter the building. Water damage can weaken the structural integrity of the building. If the ceilings are sagging, do not enter the building.

Electrical Hazards

Be sure the electricity in the building has been shut off. Submerged electrical appliances and electronics can cause serious electrical shock.

Slippery Floors

Keep in mind that the floor will be slippery and objects may have shifted during the flooding. Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in water damage cleanup projects.

Other Precautions

If the area has been underwater for more than 24 hours, wear a surgical mask to avoid inhaling mold spores, or avoid the area until the professionals arrive.

WHAT TO DO

• Remove Standing Water
• Shut off the main water line to stop flooding
• Also, turn off the main source of gas and electricity
• If it is safe for you to do so, use a wet-dry vacuum to remove standing water, or use towels to soak up smaller pools of water on furniture, counters, and other surfaces
• Remove area rugs from the room and spread them outside to dry
• Move furniture and place aluminum foil or wood blocks under furniture legs to prevent carpet stains. When wood furniture is exposed to excessive moisture, the stain can transfer to the carpet leaving permanent marks. Metal table or chair legs can leave rust stains
• Turn air conditioning on for maximum drying in summer
• Remove art and other valuable objects to a safe, dry place
• Remove other smaller and loose items such as books, toys, chairs, and other miscellaneous objects from the area

WHAT NOT TO DO

• Do not try to clean up if the area is flooded with more than a foot or two of water. Wait for a professional water damage remediation team to arrive
• Removing large amounts of water too quickly will damage the building’s foundation
• Do not use any electrical household appliances
• Do not try to turn off any appliances either unless you are properly insulated
