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.

• 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.
