Water Damage Repair Equipment

When your carpets or rugs have been exposed to excess water or flooding, from any source, you have 24-48 hours to take action before mold and mildew sets in. This is a carpet emergency as mold and mildew can all too often make carpets irreparable. At times like this, a homeowner should, without hesitation, call in a professional water damage team.

A 24/7 response team is best able to respond to this problem because they are equipped with proper heavy duty equipment that a homeowner is unlikely to have on hand. Initially, professional strength pumps and high capacity vacuums will remove all standing water. This must be accomplished quickly to save the carpets. In the next step, a professional team will set up large blowers to hasten the drying process. A professional water damage team will bring multiple blowers into the home so as to best hasten the process. In the third stage, dehumidifiers will be set up to decrease moisture in the home and thereby hasten the evaporation. Finally, when all the water has been removed, the water damage team will apply commercial disinfectants and deodorants to prevent the growth of  mold and mildew, and kill any microbial growth that has already started. The deodorants will help to restore a healthy livable odor to the home.

When water damage has occurred, you must act quickly. This is not the time for an amateur or beginner to try his hand at cleaning up the damage. You need quick acting, trained professionals to save your precious carpets, rugs, and upholstery, which you have accumulated throughout your lifetime.
