When disaster strikes, it becomes imperative to seek out fire and water restoration professionals who can help piece everything back together. Only trained technicians have the equipment and experience needed to identify problem areas and follow through with the necessary repairs. While it may be cheaper to employ family and friends to aid in the cleanup of a disaster, it will surely leave many stones un turned.

Broken pipes and floods are to blame for the most common of home disasters. Catastrophes are most times unavoidable, but this doesn’t mean that the building is unsalvageable. Using industrial air mover fans and dehumidifiers, technicians are able to quicken the drying process, which can help prevent mold from growing and becoming its own problem. Another common occurrence regarding pipe leakages or improperly installed roofing is the dampening of drywall. Rather than attempt to treat these affected materials, technicians will instead inspect and remove any drywall that may harbor mold. They will then install new drywall that has been specially fitted and sanded to maintain the look of the walls before the disaster took place.

Fire and water restoration professionals are also adept at dealing with the aftermath of a blaze. The damage is quickly apparent, and may totally destroy furniture and carpet. There are, however, proper ways of removing any remnants of a blaze, including problematic soot and ash. Since ash can tarnish and corrode metals, it’s imperative to hire trained professionals only, as they have the knowledge and tools to properly identify the problematic areas. Technicians will deploy HEPA certified vacuums and other specialized equipment to remove all leftover fragments from an inferno.
