It May Not be as Bad as it Looks

The extent of the water damage depends on many factors, including the force of the water when moving, the depth of the water and the length of time your home was flooded. In many cases, once the flood has receded, only minor repair work is needed, such as removing insulation and carpet padding that has become waterlogged. The primary focus in these cases is on drying the affected parts of the building, including flooring and wall cavities.

Water Damage May Not be Limited to a Building Interior

In the case of a Slab Leak in or under a building’s concrete foundation can go undetected for months and undermine the foundation of a building but never effect the interior of the building. Restoring an undermined concrete foundation is also considered water damage restoration.

Then Again Looks can be Deceiving

In other cases though, flood damage is much more severe and requires reconstruction or remodeling. Flooring may need to be replaced down to the foundation, and specialized sanitizers must be applied to most surfaces to prevent the growth of mold, which is a serious risk in damp structures. When flooding has occurred, speed of cleanup is important. Call on a professional who has the experience,  tools and equipment necessary to make your home clean and safe again for you and your family.
