A common place to find tile in a home is in the bathroom, specifically in a shower. These tiles are most often placed over drywall, as in homes built between 1965 to 1990, or cement walling, as found in newer homes. While tiles make for a sturdy shower space, they remain susceptible to damage from water left after a person bathes.

If a shower has a drywall backing, the remaining water will travel to the drywall, causing it to expand and swell. This expansion then causes the tile to become loose and perhaps even crack. The damage from cracked and loose tiles can be so significant as to warrant a shower’s needing to be entirely replaced. Cement walls do not absorb water; however, the water, instead of being absorbed into the walls, will travel to the showers floor. The water will then seep onto any surrounding floor tiling or carpeting and cause mold. Again, the damage can be so great that the homeowner may need to replace the flooring.

Home restoration professionals commonly recommend that a homeowner using grout to seal the cracks in between tiles to prevent the water from seeping into drywall. Grout is a cement-based product that, while not waterproof, prevents for some time the seeping of water into the drywall. Even more so, a homeowner should use inspect a shower’s grout and routinely replace it to ensure that the tiles will not be damaged. The grout should then be sealed with caulking. For newer showers that have cement walls, it is recommended that a weephole be placed in the shower. A weephole allows the water to travel back into the shower without damaging outside flooring or tiling. A weephole should never be filled with grout or caulk. Without an adequate weephole, a cement-backed tile shower stands to suffer damage to the shower pan and surrounding flooring.

Put simply, water damage mitigation is the process of repairing whatever damage has been caused by excessive moisture. The process and extent of the job can vary dramatically by circumstance. For instance, a small patch of mold caused by excessive moisture is something that can be mitigated rather easily. However, a crumbling foundation that has suffered years of water damage can be a massive job. In such cases, structures can be in such bad shape that they must be demolished. While these situations are rare, they do exist.

The fact is, living in a home that has even a small amount of water damage can be unsafe, as well as unhealthy. Mold (especially black mold) that is born out of excessive moisture can be very hazardous to one’s health, and can cause respiratory issues if inhaled. While it may seem as if getting rid of a mold problem is something that one can do on their own, this is never recommended. Since professionals work with mold on a regular basis, they know the process inside and out, and are aware of all necessary safety details. Doing the job on your own can sometimes make the problem worse, and can be hazardous to your health.

Water damage mitigation does not have to be expensive, and is a process that should be done as soon as possible, as the more water damage accumulates, the harder and more intensive the mitigation process becomes. Don’t live in a home riddled with moisture issues any longer – choose water damage mitigation today.

The damaged carpet must be removed from the room and laid outside in the sunlight. If the rug is too large to accomplish this, it must be rolled up from the floor so towels can dry the carpet and floor underneath. Oftentimes the padding must be removed and discarded since it will be unsalvageable. Circulating air by using fans, dehumidifiers, heaters, and air conditioners also helps the drying process. Keeping doors and windows open allows sunlight to warm and dry the carpet. This do it yourself process can take two or more days to complete. Another method is to rent a wet/dry vacuum to extract the excess water from the carpet.

Water damage results from the broken water pipes of a dishwasher, washing machine, sink, or bathtub. Rain water can leak from the roof onto the floor and carpet in the room below. Backup of the commode in the bathroom can leave a terrible aftermath not only in the bathroom but nearby rooms. It is important to wear protective clothing such as rubber gloves and boots, and face and eye protection from any splash while cleaning. A bleach and water solution must be properly applied to sanitize and disinfect the area affected by this type of damage.

Leaving moist carpet in a room can also damage the floor itself whether it is concrete, tile, laminate, or hardwood. Dry rotted floors cause even more problems. The importance of thoroughly drying carpets after water damage can be a heavy burden on homeowners. If excess moisture is not removed promptly and properly, the health and well being of family members can be affected as well as further damage to the home itself.

Because water retains its temperature more resiliently than most materials within the home, it is usually either warmer or cooler than the surrounding materials, depending on where the water is coming from. Buildings that are saturated with water can be easily located in this way. Within the building or home that is suffering from water damage, infrared thermal imaging can be used to easily locate building materials which have become wet. Wet materials stand out against the surrounding environment due to their differing temperatures. In this way, assessments of the true damage to a building or home can be made easily and quickly. Water damage that is hidden from plain view, in the ceiling or behind the drywall, can be seen with infrared cameras.

Mitigating water damage has become much easier as a result, allowing trained professionals to quickly asses which areas of the building need to be inspected further with other equipment such as moisture meters. However, infrared cameras are only useful for people skilled with using them. They do not tell the person who is using them whether or not something is wet directly, the only tell them if something is hotter or colder than the surrounding environment. It takes a skilled professional to use this information to make an educated guess about whether or not building materials may be saturated with water.

Structural drying is required as soon as possible after a water disaster. The longer the time laps from the flood, the larger the damaged area becomes because mold and rot will continue to grow and spread into other areas. Saturated building materials need to be removed as quickly as possible and the remaining structure needs to be dried to prevent collapse. Quick mitigation of water damaged structures will ultimately reduce the expenses for rebuilding as well as the costs to the insurance company.

Water will take the easiest path of travel. This is a well-known fact. What people don’t always realize is that the easiest path of travel may well be straight up a sheetrock wall. When standing water is present in a home, it can easily wick up the sheetrock, creating further damage. It will spread quickly through carpets and into any lower levels. It may seem like a simple matter to dry the floor, but getting the underlying padding and subfloor dry can pose a greater challenge. Yet drying these hidden areas fully and quickly is vital to preventing the growth of mold. Super Restoration will respond to your call quickly, with the right equipment to clear the water and moisture from your home.

Southern Florida has warm temperatures and high humidity, which encourages the growth of mold to begin with. Once mold establishes itself in a home it does not take long to spread and cause extensive damage. With Super Restoration you can rest assured that the mold will not be given the chance to take hold. Any existing mold will be thoroughly and safely removed and the areas cleaned.

In addition to checking all affected areas for mold, the subfloor, structural materials and crawl spaces must be inspected for damage. Rot that occurs due to water damage can continue to spread even after the standing water is removed. And anyplace that remains even slightly damp afterwards can easily become a breeding ground for potentially toxic mold. Trust Super Restoration to check your home so that you won’t have to worry about hidden damage.

Fire can completely destroy a home. But even a small kitchen fire that you were able to extinguish with your home extinguisher can leave behind serious challenges. Smoke and soot can leave an unhealthy film on appliances and furnishings that can create breathing problems. Sheetrock walls can absorb the smoke, causing further damage and a smell that persists long after the fire was put out. The smoke can also react with metal building materials in the house, creating unsafe conditions. Super Restoration specializes in clearing soot and smoke from your home, leaving you with a fresh, safe, clean environment.

Water, mold and fire have the potential to make your home uninhabitable. When tragedy strikes your home, call Super Restoration so that you can rest easy knowing that your house will be clean, safe and secure for many more years to come.

The problem with water damage is that many people try to take care of it themselves. While they may be able to remove the water they see and things look and feel dry, many times water has penetrated the structure into places they can’t see. Without being able to properly determine if things are really dry, they often stop, and that is a major mistake because soon mold and mildew will begin to grow where it can be seen. Additionally, the remaining water in the structure can continue to cause structural damage, unseen to the owner’s eyes. Super Restoration has the correct equipment that can check the moisture levels in every area and to also thoroughly remove water from and dry hidden places.

Time is of the essence when water damage has occurred. If the property owner is lucky, it happens when someone is onsite and can help prevent its spread. Often it happens at night or when people are not there, whether it is due to rain water, floodwaters, broken plumbing, or even hurricane. Removing the water from the structure as soon as possible to help prevent further damage is Super Restoration’s specialty. They have worked with thousands of people in the South Florida area to help them save their property from continued damage due to water encroachment. Their staff of professionals have not only the necessary training, they also have the experience that is needed to assess and properly service any situation, whether it is a basement parking area or a penthouse on the 80th floor of a building.

No matter what the situation or the cause, water damage is something that, if not taken care of quickly and professionally, can be a major headache for many property owners. Instead of rolling the dice and trying to take care of it by themselves, property owners should call a professional, and in the South Florida area, the best choice is Super Restoration.

Water damage can happen to a home or business at any time. Spills and water leaks are actually quite common. Any resulting loss of vital documentation can have serious consequences. Document restoration means the recovery of information or data from books, papers, and other forms of media that have sustained water damage. Super Restoration can recover important information from documentation damaged by water. Our goal is to restore the document and all of the information it contains to prime condition . Where possible, Super Restoration will return books, papers, and other forms of documentation to a condition that is safe and ready for use.

Many laws require businesses to retain, or maintain, information for a number of years. A copy isn’t appropriate for many forms of documentation such as signed business contracts, tax records, and legal files. Paper documentation that has been damaged by water will stick together and certainly be damaged when it’s pulled apart. Mold will begin to grow on the documentation if it is left to air dry, destroying important information. Those handling documentation that has become moldy are exposed to elevated health risks. Paper documentation will become brittle and subject to damage if it’s left to air dry. Losing vital documentation can cause serious problems for normal business activity. In a worst-case scenario, a company affected by water damage could be forced to go out of business.

Super Restoration utilizes the most modern equipment, technology, and advanced techniques to achieve the best restoration and data recovery possible. Some techniques used to recover documents damaged by water include desiccant drying, refrigerated desiccant drying, and freeze drying. Desiccant drying is accomplished in a sealed container using substances that are hygroscopic in nature. Hygroscopic substances attract molecules of water from their surrounding environment through absorption or adsorption. Adsorption is the sticking of the water molecules to the substance. Freeze drying is a dehydration process. The wet material is frozen to a temperature between minus fifty degrees to minus eighty degrees Celsius. Pressure is reduced and enough heat is added to allow the frozen water particles to evaporate.

Super Restoration specializes in emergency property restoration and recovery. We provide full service solutions with our state-of-the-art facilities. Super Restoration has On-Site Disaster Recovery Teams who are extremely capable and ready to serve your document and data restoration and recovery needs.
