At Quick Response Restoration, we recommend immediate dehumidification to avoid secondary damage from lingering water. To start, we position industrial air movers throughout the affected rooms to accelerate the drying process and prevent mold growth. Most of the materials and fixtures in your structure aren’t designed to withstand even a little bit of moisture. Sheetrock, flooring, ceiling tiles, insulation, carpet, and timber framework may need to be removed and replaced to make your structure safe again—and that’s not even considering the damage done to your HVAC units or ductwork.

In short, minor water damage may dry out on its own if the conditions are right, but not without causing secondary damages as time passes and contributing to mold growth in the future.

No, you should never attempt to clean up sewage on your own. Even if water looks clear and safe, flood water and pipe water could be hiding bacteria and other harmful substances that could cause serious illness.

There are three categories of water damage. Category 1 water poses no immediate threat. Category 2 waste water (gray water) may be contaminated and can cause harm during cleanup. Finally, category 3 black water (sewage, flood water from sewers, etc.) is incredibly harmful to your health. To clean sewage, you need extensive PPE, training, and equipment. Trust the pros at Quick Response Restoration to take care of it for you.

After a storm or flood, your first priority is your safety and the safety of your family or employees. Once everyone is safe, it’s important that you gather the materials you need for the next few days (water, food, clean clothing, first aid, etc.). Finally, when everyone is safe and you have what you need to be comfortable, you should consider calling a restoration company.

To prepare for the unexpected, we offer homeowners and business owners Emergency Response Plans (ERPs). By using 3D imaging technology, we can document your structure and property, making any future restoration projects more successful and efficient.
