Did a recent flood or leak cause water damage to your house? Did a pipe burst in your home, leading to water damage in the basement and other parts?
If so, you need the help of a professional to restore it. Below, we look at some reasons you should hire professionals.
A water damage expert will offer many services, including water extraction and drying, removal of damaged materials, disposal of hazardous wastes, and restoration of your home.
They will also provide advice and guidance on preventing future water damage. Here’s how a restoration project typically works.
Inspection
The first step is an inspection, during which the expert will evaluate any visible damage. Next, they will examine walls and floors for signs of moisture. Plus, they will check the water contamination source to nip the problem from the root.
Water Extraction
It’s crucial to remove any standing water as soon as possible. So, the team will use special equipment to extract your house’s standing water.
Drying and Repair
The water damage experts will use specialized equipment to dry the area. Air movers, humidifiers, and air scrubbers are the common tools experts use.
They will also clean your carpets, furniture, and other items affected by water damage. The expert will also repair any damaged walls or floors so that your home looks as good as new.
When your belongings are destroyed with water, and your walls have become victims to mold, taking the DIY cleaning route is neither safe nor helpful. Instead, it would be best if you had a professional intervention. Here’s why.
Expertise
No matter how bad the water damage in your home is, an expert would have already seen and dealt with something similar. So they will know what to do.
At Texas Riviera Restoration, we have dealt severe water damage in Corpus Christi. So, regardless of the severity of water damage in your home, we’ll always have a plan for restoration and repair.
Specialty Equipment
LGR dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers are the tools of choice for water damage restoration. They have a high evaporation rate, which helps dry water-damaged walls and floors.
An expert will have the right equipment and know how to use it correctly and safely. At Texas Riviera Restoration, all our technicians know the ins and outs of operating this specialized equipment.
Safety
At Texas Riviera Restoration, your safety is our priority. We ensure all the affected areas are free of hazardous materials and completely restored to their pre-damage condition.
We also use only the safest methods and cleaning solutions so that you don’t have any health issues. For example, our cleaning methods are toxin-free and secure, in line with the guidelines set by the IICRC.
Quick Restoration
If you attempt to restore your home yourself, it will take much longer than if you hire an expert. However, professionals have the skills and the tools to complete restoration quickly.
Also, the experts can identify potential problems before they become serious. For instance, at Texas Riviera Restoration, we look for mold and mildew growth signs.
Since we use specialized equipment, we can spot spores and young mold that might not be visible to the naked eye. By catching the problem before it amplifies, we eliminate the risk of health hazards and costly repairs later.
Salvage Your Belongings
After a water-related emergency, it might seem like you need to throw away everything in your home and start over. However, this is only sometimes the case.
There’s a lot we can save with proper cleanup and repairs. When you hire us for water damage restoration and repair, we will try to salvage most of your belongings.
As for carpets and upholstery, we check for signs of mold and mildew. If your carpets need more mold to be removed, we will advise you
to replace them. Otherwise, we will use advanced cleanup methods to restore them to their original appearance.
Water damage can steal the beauty of your home. But with the help of Texas Riviera Restoration, you can get it back.
Our process begins with the first meeting, during which we provide the quote for the cleanup and restoration job. We will also share the
cleanup and repair plan with you. If you have any questions, this is the best time to ask them.
After that, we arrive at your property, and our IICRC-certified technicians start the restoration process using their expertise and
advanced equipment. So call us today to kickstart your home’s water damage repair process.
