Has your residential or commercial property been damaged by water incursion? Maybe it’s a burst pipe in the ceiling that flooded your home. Perhaps its a damage to the roof. It could have been anything. Now you’re faced with the prospect of beginning water damage restoration. What are the essential steps you should take?
Extract the Water
The first step to water damage restoration is to extract the standing water from the building. You can do this in many ways, including using a wet/dry vacuum to suck it up, squeegeeing the water out, and more. Remove as much water as you can.
Eliminate Moisture
After removing all the standing water, you can begin work on the next step in water damage restoration i.e. removing moisture. This will need to be done throughout the building, including carpet, furniture, even walls, and floors. To do all this you need to be well equipped with several tools here, such as professional vacuums, dehumidifiers, different types of fans, and more. All the excess moisture must be removed. You may find that you need to remove things like damaged insulation, damaged carpeting and the like, as well.
Disaster cleanup
Last but not the least, you’ll need to start the cleaning process. You can't overlook this, as this step is very important to prevent mold from establishing a foothold within your property, as well as for dealing with any potential bacteria that might be present, particularly if the water invading your home was from an actual flood.
