Your Emergency Damage Restoration Questions Addressed
What makes a water damage situation an emergency?
Water that is still spreading, sewage, sagging ceilings, water near electrical systems or flooding in several rooms.
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 happens to water damage after a fire?
Firefighting water is extracted, soaked materials are removed and the rooms around the fire are dried.
What is a tarp used for after storm damage?
Covering roof openings or broken windows to keep more rain out while the inside is extracted and dried.
Is sewage backup cleanup a health hazard?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and contaminants, so cleanup needs protective gear, containment and disinfection.
