Water repair or water clean-up involves several processes, done in phases. The first step is to remove all the excess water from your floors, wet carpet, and other materials that have been affected. When the water has been removed, dehumidifiers and other specialized equipment are used to dry the affected areas. Depending on the amount of water and the size of those affected areas, the process can take multiple days. Once these processes are finished, moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras (when applicable) will be utilized to ensure your home is thoroughly dry. Be aware that repairing water damage may also involve drywall removal, carpet cleaning, wood floor repair, odor control, air duct cleaning, and mold removal.

Complete restoration consists of two major parts. Part One is mitigation, which involves demolition, cleaning, and drying the structure itself as well as belongings. You can expect this process to take no more than 3 – 4 days. Part Two is repairs, which can take from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the extent of damage and lead time in assessing (and repairing) the damage to materials such as carpeting, cabinets, or other flooring materials. Your Synergy Property Restoration project manager will work closely with you and your insurance company to create a full timeline for all restoration work, ensuring that your home is back to normal as soon as possible.

There are three categories of water: clean water, gray water, and black water. Clean water obviously poses no threat to people. This includes water damage caused by a sink or bathtub overflow or an appliance malfunction (often a water heater or washing machine). Gray water can cause harm or sickness to people since it contains a significant amount of contamination, which can be chemical, physical and/or biological. Black water is as grave as it sounds. This water category can cause severe illness to people. Black water is highly dangerous and contains pathogenic agents coming from other contaminated water sources. These sources are often from seawater, ground surface water and sewage backups.

Any time you have an invasion of water (particularly from flooding), you create a perfect environment for mold growth. Mold thrives in moisture or any surface that retains water for too long. Mold also loves humidity, which causes excess moisture to form and mold spores with it. If excess moisture goes unchecked for any period of time, mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours. It’s imperative to take immediate action once you’ve had flooding (or any other water damage) in your home.

Flood water damage can happen in many different ways, all of which require the services of a reliable, experienced restoration company. Of course, heavy rainstorms are a significant cause of flooding, but also burst or leaking pipes as well as malfunctioning appliances. These house floods can also occur as a result of roof leaks and from defective gutters and downspouts, which can cause water damage in your basement or crawlspace.

Some signs of hidden water damage include peeling paint and wallpaper, visible mold, moisture and condensation, musty odors, and moisture or dampness in carpeting or other flooring.
