There are several different types of water damage that can affect a residential or commercial building. They can onvolve wood rot, mold, rust, bacteria and many more problems. Water damage can devalue your property, and can also compromise its structural integrity making it unsafe to inhabit until it’s fully restored. Below, you can read about several types of water damage.
“Floods are unpredictable and can wreak havoc on your home. It usually takes several days for a house to dry entirely from a flood, and that process needs to be professionally managed with care. You need to remove all furniture and discard most of your carpet as flood water often has contaminants. Our water damage restoration service helps alleviate the stress of having to do this on your own.
Mold can start to grow in as little as 24 hours after a flood occurs. Our professional restoration team will make sure that doesn’t happen while your house is still drying. Bill Howe Restoration and Flood is one of the largest emergency flood damage restoration companies in the San Diego area, offering 24/7 emergency service.”
Water damage restoration services go beyond stopping leaks or removing standing water. Structural drying means removing water saturation from your home’s hard surfaces, like wood, drywall and concrete. Our goal at Bill Howe Restoration and Flood is to dry your structure as fast as possible with the least amount of demolition to prevent any further damage. When drying your home’s hard surfaces, we will perform moisture readings to determine the extent of the affected area and how much water saturation remains. Sometimes in order to perform water extraction it’s necessary to remove at least part of the drywall from the frame and remove any affected insulation. Other times, small holes can be utilized to dry wall-cavities.
Mold is nasty stuff that can cause health problems if left untreated. Worst of all, it doesn’t go away on it’s own. In fact, you need special mold remediation equipment and techniques to get rid of it for good. Bill Howe Restoration and Flood is an industry leader in mold remediation and uses up-to-date technology and mold removal methods to restore the safety and comfort of your home.
The first step in mold remediation is scheduling a visual inspection. If mold is detected, removing it is a hazardous process that needs to be handled by trained professionals in protective equipment. We use negative air machines and air scrubbers to remove any potentially dangerous mold spores from the environment. We also physically remove and neutralize mold at the sources of growth using a range of techniques. Once we’re confident that the problem is resolved, we schedule a third-party air quality inspector to confirm that the mold infestation is gone from your home.
Mold isn’t something you want to neglect. If you suspect you have mold, give us a call and schedule a free inspection. We’ll provide you with suitable options for your needs and always give you an estimate before any work is performed.
Water damage falls into three distinct categories that our San Diego water damage experts can determine based on the origin of the water, the length of time the water has been present, the temperature of affected materials and other factors. Once we determine the category of loss, we can remediate the water and restore your home back to pre-loss condition – or better!
Category 3 water is known as black water and can be extremely harmful to anyone who comes in contact with it. This is due to a high level of bacteria and other contaminants that pose an immediate and serious health risk. Back water usually originates from sewer lines, toilet backups, storm water and ground surface water. Black water requires special containment and mitigation and should be dealt with immediately upon discovery.
Restoration methods follwing fire and smoke damage vary based on the specifics of the fire. Typically, broken doors and windows will be removed first, then water damage from fire hoses, broken water pipes, rain or other water intrusion is mitigated, along with destroyed fire-damaged items and structural materials. Then we can begin repairing the damage to restore your home or business back to pre-loss condition, including ozone application to rid your property of the smell.
Homes effected by fire are often intricate restoration projectsthat have to be handled by industry leading experts. Bill Howe Restoration and Flood is proud to offer a full spectrum of restoration and reconstruction services from board-ups, smoke and odor clean up to fire and water damage repair.
