Mold
All forms of mold are dangerous and pose serious health problems. Mold spores can become airborne, which is why it is important to choose experienced flood damage specialists to properly contain and safely remove all growth while cleaning the property.
Mold is linked to serious health issues including respiratory complications. Some toxic forms of mold can lead to fatalities. Mold grows quickly and only requires a small amount of moisture and sources found in homes and businesses such as paper, wood, ceilings, flooring, walls, furniture and clothing items. That is why it is crucial to begin dry-out and water extraction fast removing all affected items from the property.
Structural Damage
Flood and water damage saturates building materials like flooring, walls, and ceilings leading to structural damage. Structural damage will undermine the integrity of the property and can affect the foundation, wood, metal, and load bearing structures. Our team works fast to safely remove all affected building materials to facilitate the dry-out process ensuring no trace of moisture remains.
Once on site, our experts will assess the damage, remove all wet and damaged items, and begin water extraction and dry-out services. We use only commercial grade equipment including dehumidifiers and air movers while closely monitoring progress to prevent further mold growth and structural damage.
Once the property has been successfully dried, we will assess structural damage and begin reconstruction to restore your home or business to pre loss condition.
