Tips on What to Do

OK, you’ve weathered the storm.  Now what?

Priority 1 is safety.  Shut off electricity to wet areas to avoid electrocution hazards. In the case of significant destruction, turn off the gas supply and avoid entering hard-hit areas.

As soon as possible notify your insurance company of the loss.  You’ll actually file a claim later, once you have the actual costs of repairs.  You should also call a restoration expert for an assessment and estimate.

Next, take steps to prevent further harm.  That could include tarping a damaged roof and covering broken windows.  With flooding or other water intrusion, quick drying is vital to prevent mold and other problems.  Immediate steps may include lifting carpet, moving furniture and other possessions to dry areas, removing baseboards, and so on. Every hour counts, and your safest option is to call in professional services.

Don’t risk your health during cleanup.  Even if there’s been no contamination by sewage, clean water becomes a bio hazard after 24 hours.  For anything other than minor harm or a few square feet of wet area, or if you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to get an expert opinion and the details of all of the proper procedures.

Storm Damage Recovery

In cases with significant damage our services begin with securing the building with board-ups and roof tarping as needed.  This is performed in concert with inspections and thorough documentation, leading to an estimate and work plan.  If necessary we can pack out (remove) furniture and other belongings for protection and off-site treatment, store them, and then return everything when work is finished. With or without building issues our storm damage cleanup services can remove clear downed trees and limbs and haul away all debris and unsalvageable items.

Restoration Masters can provide temporary and permanent roof repairs as well as complete re-roofing and repairing underlying structure.  As a general contractor we’re well qualified for any other repairs you might need, including repairing or replacing windows and on up to major structural renovation.

Flooding

With flooding, even if to just part of a single room, there is the potential for further water damage and health hazards with each and every passing day, making prompt and thorough action vital.  Our special equipment provides fast pump-outs, and our technicians are well-trained, experienced, and certified in sewage and contaminated water removal as well as in clearing out mud and sand. Then we follow up with decontamination, sanitation, and odor removal specialists.  We’re also ready to treat furniture, home electronics, and other belongings.  Mattresses, upholstered furniture, and carpet require extra attention to cleaning and rapid drying.

Water Damage Restoration

water-damage-houseWater can be a much bigger problem than you might think.  It quickly soaks in, so that in a matter of minutes it can be well beyond where mopping and vacuuming can reach.  It can even wick up a foot or more in walls. Under the floor and inside walls it can take weeks, or longer, to fully migrate out and evaporate.  Yet any excess moisture can lead to mold and bacteria growth in 24-48 hours, and shortly after that can result in crumbling drywall and wood warping, splitting, and decaying.  Removing this moisture quickly enough is a surprisingly technical task.  Surfaces may feel dry even while hidden destruction is progressing.

Restoration Masters employs certified specialists and provides them with the latest equipment, more advanced than many other restoration companies, to complete the job several days sooner.  In addition to removing furniture and other wet items, we may also remove carpet.  But with our powerful water extraction equipment it may be possible to rescue it and complete all drying with it still in place.  Our experts will then combine powerful blowers, refrigerant dehumidifiers, and other equipment unique to our industry for complete structural dry out.  They’ll make frequent measurements to assure the fastest and most thorough results, getting deeply soaked moisture down to safe levels as quickly as possible.  If appropriate (and it often is) we’ll follow up with carpet cleaning as well as mold abatement and odor neutralizing treatments.
