Water Damage: Making a Rapid Recovery

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Water damage can take many forms. Flooding or heavy rainfall can introduce water into your home or business structure. Plumbing accidents are another common source of water damage. Even the more gradual damage from a leaky roof can lead to serious losses if repairs and restoration are delayed.

Some water damage will be immediately obvious, for example, soaked personal possessions or wet papers and computer equipment. Warped floor coverings and ruined wallpaper are easy to spot. Other damage is less apparent, but could be extremely dangerous. Never fail to properly deal with damage to electrical systems or gas lines.

Damage to drywall and carpet occurs quickly if water is not extracted from your structure promptly. Wood will rot. Metal will rust. Things don’t dry out on their own, especially in a climate where hot and humid weather are the rule. Failure to repair water damage can lead to permanent structural problems, even to dangerous instability. Not all damage will be apparent to the naked eye; rely on professionals to assess the condition of your home or business and to advise you on all necessary repairs.

Mold and mildew, if allowed to grow unchecked, can create a toxic situation that may be impossible to resolve. Human response to mold ranges from respiratory allergy symptoms to asthma attacks and other serious conditions. The damp conditions that encourage mold growth also attract unwanted rodent and insect pests.

Contamination with sewage, seawater, or floodwaters from rivers or streams is cause for serious health concerns. Act immediately to remove any such water in your structure, making sure that all appropriate safety precautions are followed. Within 48-72 hours, even less dangerous “gray water”—for example, a spill from a washing machine or dishwasher—will be classified as the unsanitary “black water.” Hot weather will speed up this process, encouraging the growth of dangerous bacteria and fungi that can cause illness.

Water-damage restoration specialists have the skill, experience and equipment to repair all kinds of water damage. They are accustomed to working quickly—so important in order to minimize further damage to your structure and property. Professional skills lead to professional results, too. Your home or business can make a 100% recovery from water damage.

Storm Response

Monday, May 10th, 2010

The weather can turn ugly on a dime and Mother Nature can wreak havoc on your home and your lives. Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or any severe weather storm can produce enough water to damage everything you own and love. Storm drains and sewage systems overflow at a moment’s notice and the contamination can be devastating enough to produce water-borne toxins that could permanently damage a home if not professionally and expediently cleaned and sanitized.

The worst scenario, left unattended, is that water-producing mold, mildew and bacteria will spread like the plague throughout your home. When the storms of life overwhelm you, call an expert like Super Restoration who will know how and where to begin the restoration and healing process.

Super Restoration Can Service All Your Water Extraction and Mitigation Needs

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Fire is one of a mankind’s biggest fears. While water damage usually doesn’t rank high on a person’s concerns, it can happen far more often than fire, and although the damage caused by fire typically is finished when the fire is out, water damage can continue to harm structures, businesses, homes and even people for years to come. Super Restoration’s high-tech specialists are ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week to respond to your water extraction and mitigation needs.

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.
