Why Water Restoration Services Should Be Considered

What is the Earth’s most destructive force? A tornado’s whipping winds? A wildfire’s searing flames? Although both of those are quite devastating, they are not as damaging or as common as water is. From burst pipes that are caused by extremely cold weather to floods that destroy basements and buildings, water damage does not discriminate. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports that over the last 10 years, in fact, all 50 states in the US have experienced some form of flooding.

That helps to explain why there are more homeowner insurance claims that are filed caused by water damage compared to any other danger, based on Insurance Information Institute statistics.

However, water damage emergencies meet their match by water damage restoration services. First Response Restoration specializes in restoration and cleaning services that get rid of standing water and aim to prevent additional damage from occurring.

What kinds of events require water damage restoration?

Leaks in ceilings, broken or burst pipes, and flooding – those are some of the most obvious signs that your house is in need of restoration professionals. However, the signs might not be obvious. For example, mold. Whenever there are high amounts of moisture, that will almost invariably be followed by mold. Mold in small quantities is fairly harmless. However, when it builds up in darkened recesses or walls of your house, mold can result in negative health effects, like respiratory illness, coughing, and asthma attacks, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One of the numerous signature services that our company provides as part of our water damage restoration services is mold remediation and removal.

Persistent strange odors, warped flooring, and peeling walls are a few of the other classic signs that you might need to have water damage repair.

Why is it necessary to have professionals conduct restoration work following water damage?

Whenever water pools in your living room or kitchen caused by a broken appliance, you may think you just need to use your mop and then to call a mechanic to fix the problem. However, with water damage, the extent of its damage may not always be visible. Depending on the type of flooring you have, leakage might fall in between the crevices. It can be difficult to detect and even harder to solve if it is an ongoing problem. By the time the leakage is discovered, the damage might have been done already. First Response Restoration is here to help locate affected areas and get the right corrective measures implemented to prevent additional damage through sanitizing, sterilizing, disinfecting, and other necessary types of proprietary treatments.
