From the moment water enters your house, your health and your home are on the clock, you have just a few hours before irreparable damage is done. Water effectively ruins most things in comes in contact with. With this being said, immediate emergency services are imperative in preserving your home, belongings and health.
Mitigating Initial Damage
The first and most obvious step of water restoration is removing the water. Letting flood water sit in your home can pose serious risks to your health and the structural integrity of your home. In the case of a pipe burst, depending on the kind of pipe, the contents can be extremely dangerous. Grey water is discarded water from water-using appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. Black water comes from waste and sewage pipes. A burst sewage pipe can cause immediate health risks as the water carries disease and bacteria. In the case of a flood, floodwater often reaches places that aren’t equipped to be waterproof and spread the contamination throughout the area. This can be gas lines, toilet waste, and chemicals. These contaminants entering your home can pose extreme short-term and long-term health risks.
Mitigating initial damage involves removing all water from the home while our experts work as fast as possible to clean and dry it out. If done swiftly and properly, initial mitigation can alter the outcome for your health, home, and wallet.
Preserving Home and Belongings
Water, either from flooding or large-scale plumbing issues, can cause extensive damage to your home in a short period of time, usually destroying everything in its path, from appliances and electronics to keepsakes and clothes. Furniture that is removed immediately has the chance to dry fully and avoid mold damage. Additionally, immediately removing all affected items from the home gives the house the opportunity to dry out faster.
Preventing Lasting Damage to Home
Flooding at any level is notorious for causing water damage to floors, water heaters, HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, and wall structures. However, even once the house is dry, the risk of continued damage is far from gone. Aside from the initial flood, mold, and mildew are the silent killers of your home and health. Mold and mildew can grow in water-affected areas within 24-48 hours and once mold starts growing, it continues spreading rapidly. Immediately beginning the drying and repair process with professional experience and equipment prevents extreme damage to your home and health from unaddressed mold growth.
Restoring Normalcy
In the case of a large-scale leak, your entire home, flooring and walls may need to be renovated. Many insurance coverages only cover a few nights in a hotel, meaning you are spending extra money on lodging while your home is restored on top of the renovation costs. Being displaced after damage to your home can be extremely stressful. Our goal at Mighty Dry is to restore your home and life to normalcy as quickly as possible. One way we do this is by offering 24/7 emergency services.
