Whether you have leaky plumbing, frozen pipes, a bad thunderstorm, or a malfunctioning water heater, flooding can cause serious damage to your home and your valuables. In addition, the longer water sits inside an area of your home, the more damage it can do. For this reason, proper water mitigation and damage repair is crucial to preserving your property and your possessions.
The first 24-48 hours are critical after a flooding incident to control additional damage. Unfortunately, flooding usually takes its toll on a home or business before the owner realizes something is wrong. For this reason, it is important to contact Mold Doctor as soon as you know there is a problem.
Once our water mitigation experts arrive, Mold Doctor will take care of the heavy lifting. In the meantime, there are a number of things you should do right away if your home or office has been flooded.
Switch off electricity at main breaker or fuse box – even if your area is without power, it is important to turn off the electricity, so you can prevent any electric safety problems.
Run AC and fans and open any windows – we will provide industrial equipment to expedite the drying process, but it helps to get a head start on water mitigation.
Use mops to soak up excess water – anything you can do to reduce the effects of excess moisture will make a difference. You should also wipe down things like wooden furniture.
Hang up any rugs or upholstery in a dry, airy place – give these items as much time as possible to dry out.
At Mold Doctor, our water restoration experts are fully qualified to assess the extent of the problem. Therefore, our team will conduct a thorough inspection of the affected area and present a full water remediation plan. Through techniques such as thermal imaging and moisture mapping, we can reduce mold growth and target pieces of furniture and materials that need to be removed for repair or disposal.
At Mold Doctor, we know that acting quickly is the key to keeping water damage from spreading. For this reason, water extraction is always the first step in the process. Our team will start by pumping out any standing water and removing furniture and materials in the affected area as fast as possible. In addition, we clean and disinfect all items to eliminate the chance of mold or strong odors developing. As a result, we can dry out your home or office quickly and effectively while reducing the chances of further damage.
In addition to the obvious property damage, flooding can also pose serious long-term health risks to home or business owners. Indeed, damp materials and standing groundwater are perfect breeding grounds for viruses, bacteria, and mold which can cause disease and exacerbate allergies. Unfortunately, mold growth can happen in as little as 1-2 days after flooding occurs.
Our commercial drying equipment, however, will greatly reduce the chances of mold or other bacteria taking hold. At Mold Doctor, we can also test for indoor air quality to ensure family members and employees return to a safe environment. We know from experience that it is much better to remove moisture before mold develops than to have to perform mold remediation later.
If you have flooding or any type of water emergency, contact us immediately for a rapid response from our expert water restoration technicians. At Mold Doctor, we use the latest equipment to minimize water damage and to restore your property back to its original condition.
