When it comes to water damage restoration, you may be under the impression that the process is straightforward and easy to accomplish without the help of a professional water damage restoration company. The truth is that water damage restoration requires a lot more than you might expect in order to be completed successfully and to prevent further damage. Here are a few things to consider if you have experienced water damage and are unsure if hiring a water damage restoration company like Recovery Solutions is the right choice for you.
Mold
Mold loves the environment that water damage creates, and will seize the opportunity to thrive if water damage is present for more than 24 hours. Having a team of experienced water damage restoration professionals can allow them to assess the damage, and use their knowledge to prevent mold growth. If there is even a trace of moisture left behind in building materials or your personal belongings it presents the threat that mold will grow and present itself somewhere down the line after it has had the chance to settle and spread.
Contaminated Water
As water travels throughout your residential or commercial property, it becomes contaminated by anything and everything it comes into contact with. The risk is especially high if the water came from flooding or from a plumbing malfunction that involved sewage. Things like chemicals, allergens, pollutants, bacteria, germs, and even blood borne pathogens can be lurking in the water that your home or business is exposed to. When working with water damage, it is important to always use protective gear. It is also important to avoid cross contamination and sanitize your property properly to avoid illness and infection in the future. When working with water damage restoration specialists you have the benefits of eliminating the risk to yourself and having the assistance of trained professionals who can stay safe themselves and return your home or business to being a safe environment.
Prevent Future Structural Damage
Just as trace levels of moisture can cause mold to grow, this moisture can also lead to disastrous structural damage. Warped and swelling building materials, cracked foundations, electrical damage, material collapse, and more can be the result of an incomplete restoration job. Avoid this possibility entirely by working with a team like Recovery Solutions.
Avoid Physical Injury
Contaminated water is not the only risk you are presented with when you are working in an area exposed to water damage. Damp building materials can cause collapse which can cause great injury. Oftentimes there is electrical wiring or appliances that have been exposed to the water damage as well which has the potential to cause electrical shock to those who come into contact with the water or wiring.
Save Time With Teamwork and Experience
Lastly, we understand how important it is to return your home or business to its original condition to get your life back on track after water damage. Don’t spend time learning the process and working on your own. Make the process go quicker with the knowledge and team effort of water damage restoration professionals.
