Water Damage Restoration for your Home

Fast response time is key to successful water damage restoration

If your home requires water damage restoration due to a wet basement or flood, damaged plumbing or appliances, or excess water as a result of fire suppression, quick response time is the key to successful water damage restoration.

The effects of basement flood damage or other water damage can go quickly from bad to irreparable if not addressed immediately. Water damage and excess water in your home can cause electrical hazards, expensive damage to your home’s structure and furnishings, and lead to the growth of hazardous bacteria and mold.

Beginning water mitigation and removal procedures as soon as possible prevents water damage from spreading, lowers costs and means less stress for you. Waiting to begin water and flood restoration services can cause secondary damage to:

Carpets and other furnishings
The structure of your home
Drywall and wood, as a result of the spread of mold
Hardwood floors—requiring costly replacement

Why did the technician leave wet carpet on my stairs?

After water damage in your home, stair carpeting is generally not removed for safety reasons. Exposed tack strips or staples, especially on steps, can be dangerous. However, there are situations where removing carpet from stairs is necessary to prevent damage to hardwood steps underneath, or in the case of sewage contamination. Removing tack strips is not advised, as this may damage the hardwood or the subfloor. Extreme caution must be used whenever the tack strip is exposed or when the carpeted stairs are damp. If carpet left on the stairs is unsalvageable, it will be removed when new carpet is installed.
