Learning about the different signs and types of water damage before it occurs can help you adequately prepare in the event that it does occur. If you discover water damage, call a public adjuster immediately! Public adjusters usually work closely with water remediation and restoration companies and can arrange to have them come out quickly.
Removing water from floors, walls, carpets and furniture is a must. Water can quickly destroy personal belongings and the structural integrity of your home or property.
If you can quickly identify the source of the leak and can stop the water flowing, quickly do that so the amount of water doesn’t continue to accumulate. When large amounts of water sit on the floor, they often get absorbed by carpets, rugs, wood floors, baseboards, and drywall. Once there has been significant water accumulation, it becomes necessary to hire a water restoration company to perform an extraction of the excess water. This will stop future water damage to the property.
Once the water is removed the full damage can be assessed. There is typically a treatment for mold that will occur to the areas of the property that sustained the water damage. Mold is a common side effect that happens when water soaks into walls, floors, and furniture. This can happen regardless if the water entered the property through a leak in the roof, a broken pipe, or from hurricanes and severe tropical rainstorms in Florida. Most water restoration companies also provide mold remediation services.
