Repairing A Home That Has Been Flooded
Only one in fifty homeowners will be lucky enough to escape water damage in their basement over the duration of their house’s life. Once it happens, do not sleep on it or put it off until tomorrow, because mold will set in by only a day or two – especially if a basement receives little natural light. Mold, especially black mold, poses serious health risks, especially to young children. Preventing mold from forming requires water extraction until no standing water remains. Our drying process utilizes tracking methods to ensure that moisture evaporates from the walls and air in your house at the proper rate, so that we can speed up or slow down the drying rate as needed to best protect your furniture and valuables.
Even if you live in a part of the country that receives only a few inches of rain each year, water damage can strike your property. In fact, rainfall accounts for only half of flooding incidents in the United States. Your own utilities can cause the other half, including
- A burst water main
- Frozen pipes
- Sewage backup
- Sump pump failure
No matter what the case or condition, flooding requires immediate water extraction from a professional cleanup and restoration team. Your home represents your greatest investment – protect it with our water removal services when the worst happens.
