Trusted Flood Cleanup & Water Extraction

The first step in any flooding emergency is to cease the flow of water and begin removing any sitting water from the building. The longer water is allowed to sit, the greater the chances are that mold will begin to grow and cause further damage to your property. Using tried-and-true water extraction techniques, our professionals can remove water even from below the surface of your floors, walls, and other affected areas.

Why Is Water Damage Dangerous?

The Need for Water Damage Cleanup

Floodwater from pipe breaks, sewage backups, and other disasters can contain dangerous viruses and bacteria. If left to sit for 24 to 48 hours, this water can lead to the development of mold and cause major structural damage to your property. Mold can spread quickly and cause health adverse effects such as coughing, difficulty breathing, nasal and sinus infections, and even skin and eye irritation. People with sensitivities to mold or respiratory conditions can experience even more serious reactions.

A Little Moisture Can Lead to Major Damage & Health Risks

What We Can Do To Prevent It

A fast response is one of the most important aspects of cleanup after water damage. Vacuuming up remaining water is the first step in the cleanup process. Once this is completed, fans are used to keep the air flowing and to push out moisture as much as possible, one component of this may be the use of a dehumidifier to keep the air as dry as possible. Steam cleaning is another important step in many instances to purify and sanitize flooring. Along with the floors, the walls and basically any surface that has had contact with storm or flood water needs to be sanitized, chlorinated, or bleached. Checking the state of furniture is another step to consider to ensure there is no potential for mold or bacteria growth to take hold within a room.

What You Can Do Before We Arrive

As you wait for our professional team to show up, you can get started on the water damage cleanup by creating airflow with open doors and windows or by running fans. You should take a moment to observe the status of your carpet or flooring and the likelihood of tearing up anything that made contact with flood water.
