Water Extraction
Getting rid of excess water is your priority. Remove all standing water using mops or towels. Bacteria can grow on wet surfaces—the less standing water there is, the better. Also remove any electrical appliances that have been doused with water (e.g., televisions). These items must be professionally cleaned by someone trained in flood restoration, so don’t take them apart yourself.
Dehumidification
After you’ve removed as much standing water as possible, turn your attention to drying out materials. Using fans or dehumidifiers is one way to remove moisture. Putting your wet furniture outside may also help with evaporation. If there’s mold present in your home after a flood, you should hire professionals who have experience dealing with these types of problems before attempting any DIY solutions. Mold can be incredibly toxic and can cause serious health complications.
Evaluation
After a flood, it’s important to make sure all mold growth is stopped as soon as possible. In addition to water mitigation work, you’ll want an emergency cleanup company like ours to be able to test for mold. Mold spore colonies can grow overnight after water damage has occurred. If left unchecked, they can spread within 24 hours and will continue growing if moisture remains behind your walls or under your floors. We’re ready 24/7 when you need us most!
Rebuilding Your Home
The best way to minimize water damage is by taking action immediately after a flood. Call an emergency service for help with immediate cleanup tasks such as pumping out water, removing debris, and drying wet surfaces. Once your home is safe from further damage and everything’s been dried out, it’s time to make sure that you restore your home to its original state. Following restoration steps will ensure that your property makes it through its next crisis intact.
Fire Damage
If your home has experienced fire damage, your first thought is maybe I’ll just replace everything when I get my insurance check. However, you could be putting yourself at risk for even more damage without following these simple steps. While it’s true that a lot of water was used to put out flames, water is also one of your biggest enemies during cleanup efforts because mold can grow on wet materials within 24 hours. This is why it’s important to keep as much moisture out of your home as possible by using fans and dehumidifiers to dry things out quickly.
Sewage Backup Recovery Tips
To clean up after your home has been damaged by a sewage backup is not an easy task. The sooner you take action, however, the easier it will be to control the damage. Here are some tips for emergency flood cleanup. Remember that these tips should only be used as a guide—you should always call a professional water damage restoration company if your property has been affected by flooding or any other type of water damage. A professional company can also ensure that mold does not grow on any of your belongings and that everything is properly sanitized so that no further health problems arise from exposure to raw sewage or other harmful chemicals.
