Fire and Water Damage Restoration

When it comes to making repairs in your home after it has been damaged by water, there are a few things that you should never do, including the following: If you are unsure whether it is safe to do so, do not enter your flooded house. If the water is muddy or there are live wires, you should wait for specialists to enter your property before going back in. If there is water in or near electrical outlets, light fixtures, switches, or control panels, do not turn on the electricity. Water and electricity do not combine well.

Time is of the importance when it comes to repairing damage caused by water. The sections that were flooded or had standing water have already been drained out, but the moisture will soon convert into mold and rust if it is not removed. At the conclusion of this stage, all wet items will have been removed, and anything that was damp will be completely dry.

After the fire and smoke damage have been cleaned up, the secondary damage that was caused is also a huge problem. The vast majority of the time, firefighters use a varied amount of water to battle the flames, which leaves the structure moist and creates circumstances that are ideal for the formation of mold. This can take anything from 24 to 72 hours to take place. You have to move immediately in order to stop any additional harm from occurring to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

The biggest concern when dealing with any type of water damage is the risk of mold growth. Mold can begin to form if the wet areas are not dried completely. Mold can impact the health of anyone who breathes it in but it can really take a toll on those who have allergies, asthma, and/or a weakened immune system.

Within the first 24 hours of a leak or flood, mold development, damage to floors, walls, and electrics, and even structural issues can occur.

What is sudden and accidental water damage? Sudden and accidental water damage covers discharge or overflow of water or steam from within a plumbing, heating, or air conditioning system, or household appliance. This is typically included up to the policy limits with most “HO3” policy types.
