Common Emergency Damage Restoration Questions Answered
How quickly should flood damage cleanup begin?
Right away. Floodwater soaks deeper and spreads contamination the longer it sits, and mold can start within days.
What is involved in emergency water extraction?
Stopping the water, making power safe, pumping and extracting standing water and starting drying.
How does Emergency Damage Restoration usually start?
With a call, a safety check, stopping the water source and extracting standing water as soon as possible.
How long do structural drying services take?
Often several days, depending on the materials, how long they were wet and how much water there was.
Can storm damage repair prevent future water problems?
Tarping roof openings and drying the inside limits damage. Permanent roof and window repairs prevent the next leak.
