If you have ever had a water emergency this experience is something that you probably still remember today.  Water is possibly the most damaging element that can attack your home or office. Your initial response will determine the outcome of your property.   You will need a process known as water extraction where all surfaces are thoroughly dried, cleaned, disinfected, and sanitized. If mold or mold spores are present this will require more extensive treatment of the mold or mildew which must be removed and the area treated to prevent it from returning.

The longer it takes to start the drying out process the more damage the water will cause.  We know that mold can start to grow in as little as 48 hours and the water will continue to cause damage as long it is left untreated.  Mold can spread rapidly following a water emergency causing health related issues ranging from mild allergic reactions to more serious pulmonary breathing issues to even death in children and immune comprised individuals.

Choosing the right professional is the key ingredient for a successful outcome and preventing further damage to your structure. You should make sure they can have a swift response time, infrared  red imaging equipment and the newest technology for thermal drying. Ask about what type of guarantee they offer and get their prosed plan of action to restore your property to its pre loss condition.

Water damage needs immediate attention. The longer you wait, the worse the damage can be and the more costly the repair will be. For your peace of mind have an emergency plan of contacts should you ever be faced with this type of emergency. Remember your home and possessions can’t afford to wait.
