When a pipe breaks or the washing machine overflows, your home faces the potential for water damage and mold. In an emergency situation like this, you need a water damage restoration team with experience, tools and a crew to identify and fix your water damage. Since this area has several choices, here are some tips for choosing the best team to support you and restore your home.
Everyone who claims to be certified and experienced in water damage restoration services is not qualified. You should verify their.certifications and accreditations. Any credible water cleanup contractor will have specializations in other fields such as plumbing and wiring to repair all damage. For example, the IICRC, or the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, is the non-profit certifying body for the cleaning and restoration industry. The contractor should have accreditation documents from relevant bodies like the Better Business Bureau.
Hire experienced professionals who have handled water damage mitigation situations that are even worse than the current flood damage problem. Experienced professionals have a good reputation. A good start is to ask friends and close family members for referrals of some of the reputable water damage restoration professionals in the neighborhood who can handle comprehensive drying. FireWater has been serving the Renton area for more than 15 years.
Remember, proximity is an issue here, therefore don’t hire contractors who will take several days to get to your home when it has started developing mold. Mold and fungus can start developing on the site after two days. If the home or commercial building gets a mold manifestation, it may require that the building owner hires a mold removal company on top of the water damage restoration expenses. Some valuable possessions and furniture can get damaged if not salvaged in good time. Therefore, hiring professional contractors from the locality is a good idea.
To avoid unnecessary lawsuits, always hire insured and bonded water in home or water in business removal companies. Expect a professional team to have all the correct insurance policies to cover any situations that might occur in your home. The water mitigation company should be bonded and licensed and comply with all regulations.
Home shop vacs are great; the commercial equipment used to remove water are so much more efficient and effective. Industrial equipment can be two to four times more powerful than home equipment. Plus, the experienced team will place fans, air scrubbers and dehumidifiers for maximum results.
Restoration professionals should also wear protective gear to avoid cross contamination: gloves, booties, coveralls, masks. Ask the restores to recommend any necessary repairs that should be conducted on the building after the restoration project.
