3 Steps You Should Anticipate from The Water Restoration Process

Think Before Entering

It might be hours or possibly days after the storm has passed before you can re-enter your home. However, in every case, you should tread very carefully when you enter your home again. As a rule of thumb, you should immediately turn off all power and gas at the source. Since items, including electronics, may have moved in the water, make sure to wear protective footwear before you step inside.

Beware of Any Mold

Standing water and very damp surfaces are a real breeding ground for mold. Make sure to log any locations where you see mold starting to grow. This is if you have family members with any respiratory sicknesses. Noting the areas of mold is essential because if it’s left unchecked, it might require entire panels or pieces of furniture to be removed.

Check the Structural Integrity

You might be strict about maintenance and frequently check the integrity of your home. However, flood damage can expose any previously unknown weaknesses. Start at the foundation of the house and test its integrity. Follow this by inspecting all walls for cracks and ensure that you regularly recheck these areas. If you don’t know what it is you should be looking for, Hydro Clean can take a look for you, so you know precisely what has been damaged.

Call a Professional Restoration Company

If the scale of the flooding, is more than just a minor incident then call a water restoration company. They will help you restore your home while you deal with the stress of the situation, and your insurance company. Professionals from Hydro Clean will be able to see possible damage that you can’t, including secondary damage from unseen trapped water.
