The importance of hiring a Professional Water Damage Company

The earlier you contact a water removal company, the higher. Time is critical. Once water is extracted, drying is imperative. Quick water extraction and drying will help prevent further damage to property. The longer it takes to take out the water and dry the involved area, more water damage occurs, and odds are that mold has begun to grow. Drywall can happen to be dry and unaffected but, if drywall was wet greater than 2 hours it should be replaced.

Mold can be found almost anywhere and it can grow on nearly every surface, as long as moisture and oxygen can be found. When too much moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth usually occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. Many mold troubles remain hidden from site for a long period. They are discovered when someone using a sensitivity to mold spends in time the building and gets sick.

The first step in flood damage restoration is water extraction. Royal Water Damage can send a team immediately, whenever of day, to help you as soon as you need them. When possible, find and stop the initial source of the water (plumbing, faucet, etc). Remove as much water as you can.

It takes a great deal to restore smoke-damaged possessions: far more than a vacuum and scrub brush. Royal Water Damage is skilled in this kind of detailed work. The initial step to restoration is the removal of soot. A commercial-strength vacuum can be used to clean and extract soot. Individual items must get hand-cleaned for soot removal. Whilst the restoration is happening, the property will be open whenever you can for clean air. After the soot is removed, smoke residue must be cleaned. An ozone generator helps extract smoke particles in your home office and belongings. A thermal fogger also draws the smoke out.

Water damage in your home? Actions to take.

Actions You Can Take

Shut Down Affected Utilities 

      1. Water Source: Stop the source of the water. Turn off   your   outside water main, or call a plumber or other qualified tradesman   to   stop the source of water flow. Contact your local utilities   department   if you can’t find how to turn off the water main.
      2. Electrical: Disconnect all power to affected areas. Do not   operate   your TVs or other electrical appliances while standing on wet   carpets or   floors (especially if concrete). Do not use your household   vacuum   cleaner to remove water.

Remove as Much Standing Water as Possible

      1. Floors: Remove as much standing water as possible by squeegee, mopping or blotting.
      2. Carpeting: Blot wet carpet with clean white towels. Remove   Oriental   rugs or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpet.   Place a fan so   air flows over the carpet, speeding the drying process.
      3. Ceilings: Punch small holes in sagging ceilings to relieve   trapped   water. Place a plastic (not metal) bucket under the leak. Do   not turn on   ceiling light fixtures or fan if the ceiling is wet.

Move Wet Items to Dry Areas

    1. Clothing/Fabrics: Move wet items to a dry place. Do not allow     draperies to remain in contact with wet floors or carpeting. Open and     empty drawers and cabinets for complete drying. Hang furs and leather     goods to dry separately at room temperature.
    2. Furniture: Move lighter pieces off of the carpeting. Place   plastic   wrap or plastic bags beneath the legs of larger furniture.   Wipe any   residual water off of the furniture.
    3. Art Objects/Paintings: Remove valuable painting and pictures from wet walls. Transfer all objects to a dry safe place.
    4. Upholstery: Remove and prop up wet upholstered cushions for even drying. Check for possible bleeding of colors.
    5. Luggage: Open suitcases and luggage to dry in sunlight if possible.
    6. Books/Magazines: Do not leave books, magazines or other colored     items on wet carpets or floors. High value books should be given to a     professional for proper drying and restoration as soon as possible.

Ventilate Affected Areas   

    1. Air Conditioning: Turn on your air conditioner (no lower than 72 degrees) to speed drying in the summer, or more humid regions.
    2. Open windows and doors when possible.

Water Damage? What you need to know.

What You Need to Know About Water Damage

  • Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, and mold.  These can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the water damage. Call today for an expert to contain, inspect for, and terminate microorganisms.
  • Sewage and storm water contamination must be contained.  Call today to fix the problem, clean the sewage, AND disinfect and sanitize your home and belongings.
  • Water can seep into your walls, floors, and belongings.
    • Complete structural drying is an excellent method of drying, reducing risk of mold, and restoring your property to normal as quickly as possible.
    • Wood floors and finished flooring can swell and eventually become damaged if not properly dried.  Patience is required as finished flooring and floor systems do not react and dry out overnight, sometimes taking weeks for the flooring to flatten and/or stabilize.
    • Drying water damaged kitchen cabinets is easier and more cost-effective than replacing them.

     

    Call 215-657-2244 today for dehumidification and complete drying services- structure, carpet & area rugs, hardwood floors, walls, furniture, kitchen cabinets.

 

  • Like water, fire & smoke damage can often be concealed from the visible eye.  Smoke comes in four basic varieties:
    • Dry Smoke results from a fast burning high temperature fire.
    • Protein Smoke has an extreme pungent odor but is virtually invisible.
    • Wet Smoke is described as resulting from a low heat fire.
    • Fuel Oil Soot Smoke results from furnace currents.

     

    Call 215-657-2244 today for a professional to evaluate the smoke and fire damage, target the type of smoke that has saturated the structure, and identify what type of restoration or replacement is necessary.
