Professional Water Damage Restoration in St. Mary’s County

Water damage can have many causes, such as plumbing leaks, roof leaks, storm damage, a failed water heater, or an overflowing washing machine. Once water gets inside the house, it can cause a massive amount of damage. Water is easily absorbed by drywall, insulation, wood flooring, carpeting, and your furniture. The amount of damage depends on the amount of water, where it has gotten inside the house, and how far it has spread. Determining the best approach to water restoration starts with a professional inspection.

Steps for Effective Water Damage Recovery:

• Fully evaluating all areas of the house and materials that have sustained damage
• Locating the source of the damage and stopping the water
• Using professional-grade equipment to extract as much water as possible
• Removing anything that can’t be salvaged, such as soaked drywall or ruined carpeting
• Thoroughly drying the area
• Sanitizing the affected area to discourage mold growth

Due to the destructive nature of water and risk of additional damage, the water needs to be thoroughly removed and all affected areas should be completely dried out. This must happen right away to minimize your loss. Some items and materials will need to be removed and replaced. You should never wait to call a restoration contactor when you discover water damage.
