Floods can be extremely powerful and even frightening disasters. But once the initial danger is over, they also leave behind a frustrating mess to clean up. Everything from standing water to mold growth can damage your property and put your safety at risk. With proper flood restoration, however, you can get your building back to pre-loss conditions. When performed by a trained and certified team of flood damage technicians, restoration work can repair your home or office and even provide prevention against future floods.
Flood Water Cleanup
Flood water can be particularly hazardous to deal with. Whether the floods were caused by an intense storm or a sewage backup, they often carry hazardous waste and chemicals that could cause disease or infection. Because of this, it’s always recommended that you never try to clean up flood water on your own. Instead, let a trained and qualified flood restoration technician do the work. Technicians are fully equipped with safety gear that will allow them to properly remove any standing water without risk of injury or illness. While waiting for a technician to arrive, it’s best to quarantine the affected area to prevent harm or the spread of damage.
Flood Damage Mitigation
Once the standing water is removed, technicians can begin working on mitigating the damage. Floods can damage your property in a variety of ways, and a thorough inspection before work begins will help identify all the problems in your building. Flood damage mitigation work will look different for each property, but it can include services such as:
- Replacing walls or flooring
- Fixing or replacing doors and windows
- Removing mold growth
- Cleaning and sanitizing affected surfaces
- Junk removal
- Removing or reinstalling new carpet
- Repairing structural damage
This is not an extensive list of all services provided, and your technicians will work hard to ensure your home or office is back to pre-loss condition as soon as possible.
Flood Restoration and Reconstruction
While a flood can be a stressful and inconvenient event, it could also be an opportunity. For many, getting back to just pre-loss conditions is only one option. While repair work is going on in your building already, it could be the perfect time for an upgrade or remodel. When a flood damages your home or office, you can hire your repair company to also perform reconstruction work, bringing your property to better-than-new condition.
