Water Damage
The process of restoring water damage begins with extracting the water. We swiftly remove any standing water to minimize the risk of mold and bacterial growth. Following this, we clear personal belongings from the affected area, including furniture, electronics, and clothing. Lastly, we utilize equipment like dehumidifiers and disinfectants to thoroughly dry the area and eliminate any harmful byproducts resulting from the water damage.
In the United States, household water leaks can surpass 1 trillion gallons annually. Mold can start to grow within just 24 hours, requiring only moisture, organic material, and oxygen to thrive. Internal leaks from water heaters can lead to costs of nearly $4,000, even for minor issues. More significant problems, such as faulty plumbing or household flooding, can incur repair costs averaging between $20,000 and $30,000, not to mention the additional health risks and expenses associated with contaminants commonly found in flooded properties.
Flood Damage Repair
You may be surprised to learn that the average washing machine supply hose typically fails after only 8 years, and most water heaters fail before reaching 12 years, posing potential flood damage risks. To prevent flood damage from household appliances, it's crucial to stay on top of home and plumbing maintenance.
Be vigilant for signs of plumbing wear, such as noisy pipes, moisture on walls or floors, rust-colored water, or small leaks. It's wise to replace hoses and pipes before the manufacturer's suggested timeline and ensure that everyone in the family or office is familiar with how to shut off the water supply in case of an emergency.
