Wet materials start developing very serious problems like microbial growth and secondary damage within 24 hours so you don’t have time to wait. It is important to hire IICRC water-certified technicians in order to properly and professionally mitigate your water damage.

Take the stress away from your family hire trained professionals to protect you, your home, and property for business. The first thing professionals will do is remove any compromised materials. This typically includes carpeting, carpet padding, baseboards, insulation, clothing, upholstery, fragile woods like plywood or particleboard, and gypsum-containing materials, like sheetrock walls and ceilings. Once the house is clear of any affected materials and all standing water pumped out, the technicians will bring in commercial-grade equipment to dry and disinfect the area. This process can take 3-5 days, requiring the use of air mover fans, dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, and occasionally heat injection fans.

While the home is drying out, technicians will perform a thorough inspection for microbial growth. If the technicians find anything, the microorganisms will be promptly mitigated and properly treated with disinfectants if needed. When larger microbial growth is present, technicians will build a containment structure around the area and remove the contaminated materials physically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Water can enter the home in a variety of ways, including foundation leaks, burst pipes, appliance valve failures or poor drainage around the home*. Burst pipes, valve failures and sewage backups are particularly troublesome, as they can produce several inches of water within hours.

When water pools in the home, it will quickly soak through anything it comes in contact with. If it contains contaminants, all organic materials, like textiles and wood, will likely need to be restored. This is because contaminated liquid is the perfect environment for hosting a variety of microbes, including deadly viruses and bacteria. Floods, for example, are typically infested with cholera, hepatitis and other serious diseases.

Mold is also a primary concern when water collects in the home. Mold left unchecked will spread quickly through the home by releasing spores into the air. This means that a mold colony can even reach parts of the house that seem dry. Short term exposure to mold is not typically a major concern, but regular inhalation of mold spores can cause a number of health complications, particularly in the young, old or immune compromised. These complications often include respiratory infections, nausea, agitation, malaise, fatigue, and even deadly neurotoxic complications.

In general, the longer the moisture is allowed to sit in the home, the more problems it will cause. This can result in additional expenses down the road.

Restoration companies should employ technicians trained by a respected organization like the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The IICRC offers several courses on restoration, including a structural drying course and a microbial remediation course. This training will prepare technicians for a variety of job situations and keep them safe when working around hazardous fluids.
