Storm water is dangerous
Beyond flooding your property and causing damage to the structure and materials, the water itself is contaminated and unsanitary, and poses a health threat to building occupants if the affected area is not thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. As water spreads over streets, yards, and parking areas, it picks up contaminants such as oil and coolants from cars and trucks; fertilizers and pesticides from lawns and gardens; waste from septic systems; animal waste; and more.
All Flood & Fire puts our proven professional storm-damage restoration and renovation process to work to ensure the damaged area is clean, safe, and comfortable, and restored to its pre-damage condition. We take the following steps.
- We start by thoroughly assessing the storm damage to your home or business property, and develop a water-extraction and cleanup plan. We locate the source of water entry and take whatever step is necessary to stop any more storm water from entering your property.
- Our next step is to identify the type of water that has flooded your property. We adhere to IICRC standards when categorizing flood and storm water. These standards look at the water source and the potential levels of contaminants it may contain. Our professional storm-damage cleanup process addresses whatever level of contamination may be present in the water.
- Next we examine the extent of water damage to properly classify it. We check both the amount of storm water present and the levels of dampness and moisture in the structure and materials. We inspect walls and insulation, carpets and carpet pads, and even ceilings (if storm water damage has come from above). We also inspect surfaces such as hardwood, brick, and concrete, as these require a specialized type of drying.
- Using truck-mounted industry-grade equipment, we extract the storm water from the premises. Our technicians work to remove the water as quickly as possible while also looking for areas where water and moisture may be hiding—all in an effort to prevent a mold infestation.
- It’s critical to ensure all water and dampness is eliminated and the storm-damaged area thoroughly dry. Our air movers and specialized moisture-detection equipment take care of that. We also decontaminate, sanitize, and deodorize the entire water-damaged area and all affected materials. We do HEPA vacuuming and HVAC cleaning and to eliminate mold-causing airborne contaminants and spores. We properly dispose of all items that have been contaminated and cannot be salvaged. If requested, we also do carpet cleaning and power washing.
- If your home or business property sustained structural damage, All Flood & Fire will provide renovation services if requested. Our goal is to restore your home or business property to its safe, clean pre-storm-damage condition.
