WATER AND FLOOD DAMAGE RESTORATION FOR YOUR HOME

TIMING IS EVERYTHING IN WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

The longer water sits in your home, the more damage it can cause. Not only will water cause structural damage to your property, but it also poses health risks from mould growth and bacteria especially if the water damage is due to a sewer backup in your home.

If your home requires water damage restoration due to a wet basement or flood, damaged plumbing or appliances, sewer backup, or excess water because of fire suppression, quick response time is the key to successful water damage restoration.

Basement flood damage or other water damage can go quickly from bad to irreparable if not addressed immediately. Water damage and excess water in your home can cause many serious problems. Electrical hazards and expensive damage to your home’s structure and furnishings are just a few. Another serious issue caused by excess water is that it leads to the growth of hazardous bacteria and mould.

Initiating water mitigation and extraction processes promptly can help prevent the spread of water damage and reduce costs. Waiting to begin water and flood restoration services can cause secondary damage to:

  • Carpets and other furnishings
  • The structure of your home
  • Drywall and wood, because of the spread of mould
  • Hardwood floors—requiring costly replacement

  • Clean your gutters every autumn to prevent backups and leaks.
  • Avoid frozen pipes and flooding by keeping your home heated when you're away for a long time.
  • Close interior valves for exterior faucets during the winter months.
  • Leave cabinet doors open during extremely cold weather to allow warm air in to help prevent pipes from freezing.
