Water Damage Restoration

Affected By Water Damage? Call Today!

While extreme types of water damage, like floods, are unmistakable omens of future mold problems, many other forms of water damage go unnoticed or ignored.

Most of the water damage cases we see while performing mold inspections come from improper grading, insufficient drainage, or landscaping problems that cause surface water to flow to the building’s foundation. Then, the building experiences the “rising damp“ phenomenon, in which that water wicks into the building’s foundation, walls, and floors, creating a perfect damp environment for mold.

Mold problems cannot be solved without first dealing with water damage. But we know better than anybody how overwhelming it can be just dealing with mold. Pile water damage and grading issues onto that, and it can begin to feel hopeless.

It is not hopeless!

Common Misconceptions About Water Damage Restoration

We know many people hope to solve their water damage problem on their own. While we admire the industrious spirit it takes to face such a challenge, we consider it risky and recommend seeking professional help. Here are a few water damage myths we often hear:

Myth: I can just let it dry on its own.

Truth: Air-drying the affected space is not an efficient dry-out method, nor does it address the cause of the water damage, which is the first and most important step towards restoring healthy indoor air quality. NORMI recommends commencing dry-out within forty-eight hours of the incident, and to complete the process within seven days. Air-drying also will not prevent mold growth, which already begins to proliferate within that forty-eight hour window! Proper water extraction, drying, and dehumidification are essential for effective restoration.

Myth: I can handle it with a few fans and a dehumidifier.

Truth: Put one or two box fans and residential-scale dehumidifiers will not be fast enough to solve the problem in time. We use numerous industrial models in our dry-out process to get the job done right! And still, these machines still do nothing to sanitize the space from mold and bacteria that have already taken root.

Myth: I don’t have a mold problem. I only need to address the water damage.

Truth: If you have water damage, you now also have a mold problem – even if you never have before. Mold spores are in the air everywhere, indoors and outside. You are probably breathing some in as you read this! Water damage saturates fibrous building materials like studs and drywall, creating a perfect environment for mold to grow. As mold grows, it makes more spores. That’s not a big problem outside, where unlimited airflow can disperse them. But indoors, mold spores and mycotoxins may saturate your air and could lead to serious health problems. Decontamination is critical to the water remediation process!
