In light of the recent events that have happened in Houston, Texas with Hurricane Harvey, we at Camberg Law Firm thought that it would be in the best interest of our community to shed some light on water damage restoration. By now, we hope that almost everyone has been able to restore their homes, or are well on their way of completing the task. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so here is a breakdown of water damage restoration to help plan for whatever may come in the future.
What Does Water Damage Restoration Do?
When there is water damage from flooding, sewage backup, or a pipe bursting, the result can be catastrophic to a home and to the people living in it. It’s of extreme importance that water damage is properly taken care of to exterminate any mold or pathogens and help get rid of contaminated water safely. Without the proper tools and equipment, you will not be able to fully dispose of what all lies within the dirty water, including chemical residues, animal feces, bacteria, and parasites.
What Equipment is Used in Water Damage Restoration?
Professionals have a plethora of tools that they use to help make homes safe again for families. They utilize powerful vacuums, pumping systems, heat injectors, dehumidifiers, high-volume air movers, moisture meters, and fungi-destroying detergents. First, they must drain the contaminated water, and then they must dispose of any compromised materials while salvaging anything remaining by drying it out. By doing this, they will also destroy remaining mold and microbial colonies, which is the final step of making a home safe to live.
Why Should You Hire Certified Professionals?
As much as some people think they can fix anything without hiring someone, this is definitely a job that you should leave to the professionals. Should you come in contact with the contaminated water, even for a few moments, it can leave you seriously ill due to all of the deadly bacteria, viruses, and fungi living in the water. Certified water damage restoration services have the proper protective equipment to stay safe while on the job, possess the tools to eliminate all of the moisture, and will have your home dry and ready to be lived in again.
We at the Camberg Law Firm are dedicated to helping our community in this time of need, and hope that everyone is accessing the resources they need to help put their lives back together.
