You have questions. And we have answers about water damage restoration.

You ask, “What are the steps in water damage restoration?”
The first is safety. Do not linger in an area that has water damage until you have unplugged all electrical outlets to prevent electrical shock or even an explosion.

An important next step is to determine the danger level of the water. Category One water is relatively clean. Category Two or gray water is contaminated. And Category Three or black water will be a dangerous biohazard. This may include toilet backflows and sea or river water.

It is vital that you contact a restoration professional for this step. They can help you evaluate the danger level.

The next step is water removal. It is vital that this is done quickly to minimize damage and prevent future mold growth. Water restoration professionals use high-powered pumps and vacuums to remove water fast.

Then there is the drying process. Finding all hidden moisture is essential to prevent damage down the road and the growth of mold or mildew.

Finally there is restoration. Getting things back to normal, perhaps the most important step of all. And this is what water damage restoration specialists do so well and so quickly.

Make no mistake.

VIDEO TEXT: What is a moisture meter and how does it work?
You have questions about water damage restoration and we have answers.

You ask. What is a moisture meter and how does it work?
After there has been water damage or a leak, it is critical to be able to gage how much moisture has been left if walls, floors and ceilings.

Why? Excessive moisture can lead to bacteria and mold growth which can be a health hazard. Excessive moisture can damage the structure of your home over the long haul. And finally, both of these can require costly repairs.

Restoration professionals use moisture meters to detect excessive moisture after there has been water damage.
There are two types. Pin and pin less.

Pin-type moisture meters have two pins that penetrate the surface and measure the electrical resistance between the pins. This reveals the moisture content.

Pinless moisture meters are less intrusive. They measure the relationship between moisture content, and the dielectric properties of the structure. Some moisture meters offer both options.

Keep your stress level low. It’s important to have a professional inspect for hidden moisture after you have water damage. Hidden moisture is not your friend! It Pays to Call a Pro!

You have questions about storm damage. And we have answers.
 
You ask. Can You Claim Storm Damage On Your Taxes?
 
What’s called a casualty loss can result from unusual events such as a flood, hurricane, tornado, fire, earthquake, or volcanic eruption. It doesn't include normal wear and tear.
 
Generally, you may deduct casualty losses relating to your home, household items, and vehicles on your federal income tax return. If the loss is caused by a federally declared disaster.
 
You may not deduct losses covered by insurance. Unless you file a timely claim and reduce the loss by the amount of any expected reimbursement.
 
If your property is personal-use property or isn't completely destroyed, the amount of your casualty loss is the lesser of:
The adjusted basis of your property, or
The decrease in fair market value of your property.
There are three types of casualty losses. All must be federally declared disasters.
One is called Federal Casualty Losses. A second is just Disaster Losses and the last is Qualified Disaster Losses.
You can learn more about each type on the Internal Revenue Website.
Whenever you have a loss due to storms, water or fire damage, your smart move is too contact a qualified restoration professional. They can guide you through a challenging time.

You have questions about mold. And we have answers
 
You asked, How can I reduce exposure to mold in my home?
 
According to the Center for Disease Control, if you have asthma, or if you are immune-compromised you should not stay in a moldy home, or even be there while it is being cleaned.
 
Spend less time in your home. Stay with friends or relatives as much as you can until your home is dried and cleaned up. If the weather is good, spend more time outdoors.
 
Don’t spread mold. When you go into a moldy room take off your shoes before you walk through the rest of your house. If you can, change your clothes.
 
Create a separate sleeping area. If you have to sleep in a home with mold, seal off the cleanest room for sleeping with plastic tarps and always leave your shoes outside the room.
 
Use air conditioners and fans wisely. If your home has a whole-house HVAC system, don’t turn it on until it has been inspected—it could spread mold.
 
Clean, throw away, or seal moldy items. Wash and dry, or throw away, moldy bedding, towels, and clothing.
 
Play it safe. When you have a mold problem, don’t wait. It Pays to Call a Pro!

You have questions about water damage. You asked. Will water damage laminate flooring?

Well, yes, of course….ABSOLUTELY!
Laminate flooring is more and more popular. It is attractive, cleans easily, is scratch resistant and quite affordable.

But water can be a problem.  Left wet too long,  laminant flooring will buckle, crack, split or swell. Basically, ruin!

Your best strategy is to prevent water damage in the first place. Avoid laminate floors in water prone areas such as kitchens, basements or laundry rooms. Vinyl flooring is better suited for these areas. Wipe up water spills immediately to prevent
damage. And routinely check on your appliances, sinks and drains for signs of potential water problems.

Damaged laminate flooring must be replaced. But your first job is to locate the source of the water damage so that more damage is avoided. Then the damaged flooring should be removed one board at a time. Examine the underlay to make sure it is sound. Then replace your flooring. Hopefully you will have purchased a backup supply of flooring in case of emergencies. If not, match as closely as possible.

Whether you’re preventing water leaks, mitigating damage or restoring you’re your home to perfect condition, It Pays to Call a Pro!

VIDEO TEXT: WHAT IS WATER DAMAGE MITIGATION?
You ask, What is Water Damage Mitigation?
 
Water damage mitigation and water damage restoration are different steps in a process. Mitigation means to mitigate or reduce damage by removing water quickly as possible.
 
Mitigation is the first step. It is critical, since the sooner and more completely water is removed, the less damage that will be incurred.
 
Mitigation may include removing visible water, removing affected structure such as ruined drywall and flooring, and then locating and removing hidden moisture.
 
Is mitigation the permanent fix?
 
No. Mitigation services are temporary. Technicians might use tarp or boarding up of window to prevent further damage. After mitigation, restoration is required to return things to normal.
 
Often the same firm provides both mitigation and restoration services. That is the fastest and most efficient to the water damage solution.
 
And that’s the reason, for best results, it pays to call a pro!

VIDEO TEXT: CAN WATER DAMAGE LEATHER?
You want to know. Does water damage leather?
The answer is yes. Water will damage leather if not properly treated. Leather absorbs water easily, letting it mix with the oils that make leather so durable and flexible.
The oils can then evaporate as the water leaves the leather. You may end up with cracked and brittle leather!
Can you prevent this damage?
Yes, if you take the proper actions…
First dry with a soft cloth. Do not apply heat as with using a hair dryer.
Then apply a good quality leather conditioner.
Finally, buff the leather after the conditioner has dried. Consider applying some beeswax crèam as protection.
Make the smart choice that guarantees results. It pays to call a pro!
