Water damage is one of the most common disaster occurrences. Water spreads fast and can cause overwhelming damage to the personal property as well as structure of the building itself. If not addressed immediately, mold and mildew growth can start within the first 24 to 48 hours of initial exposure.

Flood Cleanup to Protect Indoor Air Quality
During a flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions and continue to damage materials long after the flood.

What happens when you call us?
When water damage affects you in your home or business, you need to keep in mind that you will be dealing with three phases of repairing water damage and getting your life back to normal.
1. Water Removal
This will typically involve water extraction to remove the standing water, and the removal of wet materials that hold water such as; carpet pad, damaged sheetrock, and insulation. A professional water damage contractor will have the proper vacuum equipment and the manpower to handle the water removal and the removal of the materials retaining water, which will get you quickly on to on to phase 2.
2. Dry out
Fast drying through the use of dehumidifiers and air movers is critical for mitigating the effects of water and moisture laden air during water damage remediation. Generating super dry air, through the use of dehumidifiers and directing that air with powerful air movers, draws the moisture out of structural materials hastening their drying. The dehumidifiers also prevent secondary damage to areas that weren’t originally affected by the water. High moisture levels in the air can cause paint to peel, building materials to warp, and mold to grow in areas that were untouched by the water. Drying the wet structural materials and removing excessive moisture from the air is extremely important for limiting the damage during water damage clean up.
3.Water Damage Restoration
Once the structure has been tested by a water damage contractor to ensure that it is completely dry, you can begin repairing the water damage to get things back to normal. Typically, a water damage remediation company will have removed baseboards or cove base and drilled holes along the bottom of the walls to facilitate the dying of the wall cavities. Pad, and possibly carpet will have been removed. Damaged sheet rock in the ceiling that may have sagged and broken from retaining water will have to be repaired. And any items permanently damaged from water, such as; insulation, items damaged by water coming from the floor above, or wood floors that are beyond repair, will have to be replaced. Most water damage contractors who perform the water removal and drying will also offer water damage repair. If you are happy with how they handled the water damage clean up, you may want to consider them for the water damage repair.
Why is Fast Response So Important?
When it comes to water damage, the experts agree that the first 24 to 48 hours are critical for the prevention of permanent damage and the growth of toxic microbials such as mold and bacteria. In one study, wet gib board that was left untreated for 48 hours already showed evidence of microbial growth.
That’s why you need a water damage contractor who will get on the scene quickly, assess the extent of the water damage in your flooded house, and begin the all important first step of water damage remediation, which is to remove as much of the water as possible. Water removal may include water extraction, and or removing and discarding wet building materials such as carpet and carpet pad, sheet rock, and insulation. Once the water has been removed from the affected areas, drying equipment, including high efficiency dehumidifiers and commercial air movers, can begin pulling the remaining moisture from the structure and the air. The sooner all this is done, the less permanent damage will occur, and the less need there will be for water damage repair.
The water damage restoration company should take moisture readings in all affected areas throughout the drying process to ensure that everything is thoroughly dry before they begin repairing any water damage. It is important that the moisture levels are also monitored in hidden areas, such as wall cavities and behind cabinets, to ensure that there is no remaining moisture to promote microbial growth.
To summarize, the success of water damage remediation is greatly affected by how quickly it is begun. You need to choose Jani-King Environmental flood remediation company who can immediately begin the water damage clean up to make dealing with the stress and hassle of a flood a lot easier. When it comes to water damage restoration, time is of the essence.
The experts agree that when dealing with a wet structure, the first 48 hours are critical to limiting water damage and the growth of mold and other toxins. That’s why we arrive on the scene quickly, remove all standing water, block up furniture to get it away from the moisture, set up our advanced drying equipment to dry the structure and contents, and apply mildew to all wet areas. Then we continuously monitor the job and keep you and your insurance adjuster fully informed throughout the drying process.
