Tackling Water Damage from Flooding Before It Gets Worse
Flooding is inconvenient, to say the least. It sends bucketfuls of unwanted water inside your home. This water may be contaminated with biohazards or harmful chemicals collected as it flows over the ground or when your utilities, such as sewage lines, are overwhelmed, leading to backups. One of the best decisions you can make is expediting cleanup after flood damage because it can save you the significant hassle that comes from such incidents.
Many people delay flood damage cleanup in their Bristol homes because of confusion. Alternatively, fears of exposure to contaminants or unstable structural areas may keep them from taking action. Rainbow Restoration helps people like you start cleanup when it's most likely to be beneficial and ensures it's thorough enough to eliminate all traces of the flooding incident.
Benefits of Timely Cleanup
- Minimizing structural damage risks
- Limiting mold growth
- Saving electronics and appliances
- Controlling the contaminants
Prolonged water exposure weakens foundations, walls, and floors, leading to cracks, warping, or collapse. One of the flood damage cleanup aspects our professionals prioritize is water extraction using powerful pumps and vacuum extractors. That way, we can save your structure days of unnecessary exposure that would lead to unwanted damage. We can spray broad-spectrum disinfectants into the inundated areas to neutralize contaminants before we remove the pools of water.
Mold can take root the longer you take to finish cleaning your property after a flooding incident. Mold thrives in wet, dark areas, and your neglected property fits the bill perfectly. Early contamination begins in the first 24-48 hours, developing further over the coming days or weeks. Our Rainbow Restoration team can help you make your home unfavorable to mold infestation by addressing moisture buildup. We remove soggy materials and use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the rest.
Cleaning Up to Save Your Electronics
Your trusty appliances are vulnerable to flood damage since water exposure may cause wires to short or corrode circuit boards. After flooding, the humidity levels inside your house skyrocket, which is another risk since it affects even items in areas not reached by the flood waters.
