Water damage can be devastating to a home or business. Whether the damage is from a burst pipe, storm flood, or sewage backup, the risk of loss and mold is the same. The key is to act fast and call a water damage clean-up company as soon as possible. At Dryman Group, we are open 24/7/365 to respond to emergencies at any time, day or night. Read on to learn our tips and tricks for effective water damage clean-up.
Act Quickly
Before you do anything, shut off the electricity! This helps prevent even more damage to the electrical systems and people inside the building.
As soon as a water disaster strikes, it’s essential to call a restoration company out to your property immediately. Each minute that passes by causes your property to be more susceptible to damage. Water can quickly ruin floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures, and furniture. The quicker a water repair company can assess the damage and get to work restoring the property, the better. At Dryman Group, we quickly respond to calls, dispatching one of our experts immediately. The initial inspection is 100% free. During the inspection, we determine where the water is coming from and identify what areas need drying and repairing. After the inspection, we share the projected timeline and scope of work to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Extract, Dry, and Dehumidify
The next step is water extraction. Our team uses truck-mounted water extraction equipment that gets water out fast! We are equipped to handle even the most dangerous waters, like sewage. Once the water is removed, the drying process starts. Another expert tip is to always dehumidify the entire affected area. The restoration process should not begin until all excess moisture and humidity are removed. The drying process is critical as it prevents future mold growth, which can be harmful to the health of the building residents or visitors.
