Water Damage Questions
1. What causes water damage?
Water damage can come from burst pipes, leaking appliances, roof leaks, flooding, storms, or sewage backups.
2. Can water damage lead to mold?
Yes. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours in a moist environment. That’s why immediate action is needed once water is found. We help prevent mold by fixing leaks, installing vapor barriers, and improving ventilation to keep your home dry.
3. Should I dry the water myself?
It is not recommended. DIY drying may miss hidden moisture, leading to mold growth or deeper damage. Secondary water damage can also happen when water is not properly dried. Professional water damage cleanup prevents these issues.
4. How do you remove water and dry out my property?
We use powerful pumps and vacuums to remove standing water, followed by industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the space completely.
5. How do I know if everything is fully dry?
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture and ensure your property is completely dry before repairs and reconstruction begin, if needed.
6. What if the water damage is from a sewage backup?
Sewage backups are considered Category 3 water (black water) and are highly hazardous. We follow strict biohazard cleanup protocols to disinfect and restore your property safely. This type of cleanup should never be attempted by a non-professional.
