One of the most devastating things to happen to your home or business is to suffer water and flood damage. There are many ways water can enter your home or business and cause damage. No matter what it is, you need water extraction and water damage restoration fast.
Most water damage comes from inside your home or business including:
• Leaking or frozen water lines and pipes
• Overflowing sinks, bathtubs, or toilets
• Backed up sewage and septic lines
• Washing machine or dishwasher overflow
In addition, common causes of water damage include:
• Heavy rains
• Rivers cresting
At Barakat Restoration, we have seen it all. That’s why when water troubles strike, we know that you need professional help right away.
Don’t attempt to clean up the mess alone, especially if it’s widespread throughout your home or business. Water extraction isn’t as easy as it seems. You could run into more problems than you think.
No matter how you experienced the water damage to your home or building, it will leave behind unwanted residue. Even when water drains away and floors and walls dry out, you are still left with ruined carpets and flooring, rotting wood to walls and floors. The formation of rust, mold, and microbial growth begins almost immediately.
Water doesn’t mix well with wood, drywall, or masonry. Once exposed to water, these materials will be compromised. Heavy water damage can even cause your home to be uninhabitable until the structure itself has been repaired.
As if that’s not bad enough, water starts to contain chemical, biological, and physical elements that grow into contaminants if water has been standing for more than 48 hours.
Out of these impurities, illnesses may develop. Water damage can lead to respiratory illnesses including asthma, skin infections, hepatitis A, eye infections, as well as liver, blood, and kidney issues. This is all from water entering your home or business when it shouldn’t have.
Once water has inundated your home, you need to call the professionals to have water extraction begin as soon as possible. We have the expertise and highly trained staff to oversee all of your water and flood damage restoration needs.
