No matter where you live, accidents happen all the time. You may think you live in an area that is relatively safe from fire and flood damage, but all it takes is an intervention from Mother Nature to change that.
Fires can break out anytime, even from a neighbor’s property adjacent to yours, and floods can be from natural sources like an overflowing lake or even household appliances like a water heater or washing machine. And don’t think that since it hasn’t happened yet that it won’t.
Things often happen in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. If you go down into the basement to retrieve a box of Christmas ornaments and discover standing water, quick thinking can reduce the amount of damage done to your floors, walls, and woodwork.
Discover where the water is coming from and determine if it can be turned off or stopped temporarily. A pipe break can be remedied quickly by turning off the main water valve coming into the home. The pipe can be repaired after the water has dried up.
An overflowing washing machine or water heater may be turned off and drained to stop the flow of water. If the water can be stopped, this will reduce the amount of water damage done.
After the water has been turned off, call a water damage restoration company to get things dried up and back on track. Your home will be vacuumed to remove the water, dried using high-powered equipment, and inspected for mold. If there is any damage to the walls or floor it will be repaired as part of the restoration process.
If your home has been damaged by fire and flood waters, it may take a bit more work to get it restored to its former glory. Fire flood restoration takes care of the damage caused by fire and water.
It follows the same basic process as for water damage alone. The first step is to remove as much water as possible and get things on the road to drying out. This includes walls, floors, furnishings, and your personal belongings. Any structures that have been damaged by smoke or soot will be cleaned and repaired as part of the restoration process.
The same process is involved if your home was damaged by a fire and put out with water hoses by the Fire Department. Any time you are dealing with water or flood damage, you need to inspect everything carefully for mold and mildew.
