Structural Water Damage Restoration and Cleanup Services in Los Angeles
Discovering water damage in your home or office building can be devastating especially if you come home to the damage after a long vacation. When you find yourself in a situation, like this try not to stress or panic. We know this is easier said than done, but we are here to help.
Before trying to clean anything yourself, try to contact us first. Cleaning yourself can actually cause more damage. You might also end up hurting yourself if you were to fall or come into contact with sewer water.
Not sure when to call water damage restoration experts?
If you have damage in your house but are not sure you need help with water restoration, here are some clues you need professional help:
- You see mold anywhere in the home. You are most likely to spot it on the floors and walls.
- You see wood furniture beginning to rot or showing signs of warping.
- You notice carpets or curtains in the home are always damp and have a musty smell.
- Wall paint feels damp or is peeling off.
- There are wet patches on the floors of your home but you are not sure where or when the water damage started.
All of the above are signs there is serious water accumulating in the home. You might see these signs with or without a flood. If your home has been flooded and you cleaned the area yourself, you might start to see some of these signs a few days or weeks later.
This means water seeped into the walls and floors. You will need to call water restoration experts because they have special tools that can pull the water out of the buildings in the floors and walls.
How We Check for Damage
Before we begin any cleaning or restoration, we will check for damage and see how bad it is. Some of the things we try and look for include discoloration and texture changes in the home. If we see brown stains anywhere, we know that there is water collecting near the stain.
We also check the floors for signs of texture changes. This means there is water under the floor that needs to be suctioned out.
After we have assessed the damage, we can begin the restoration process. We have special suction tools and vacuums that allow us to bring the water out of the internal parts of the home.
This ensures there is no water left inside. It also decreases the chance of mold growth.
After we have cleaned all the water out, we use commercial-grade dehumidifiers which dry the air. We test the moisture levels of the home before and after we have used the dehumidifiers to ensure the levels have dropped and your home is at a safe level.

Ricks of Not Using Water Damage Restoration Services
You might be tempted to just do all the cleaning yourself rather than call in professional help. This might seem cost-effective, but it can actually harm your home and your health. You will also end up spending more money in the future since the water damage will be worse and it will take longer for the professionals to clean up the mess.
Here are some of the risks that come with leaving water damage rather than ensuring it’s all removed and the home is restored.
Mold Growth
Mold growth is the main concern when it comes to leaving water in the home. Mold grows quickly. You can begin having mold on the walls and the floors just one day after the water damage has occurred.
While some molds do not cause issues, many do. There are several different kinds of mold that can give you and your family respiratory issues. If you see mold growing in your home, you need to contact water damage and mold remediation experts right away.
Structural Damage
When you have water sitting inside the home, the structural components of your home begin to weaken. They can eventually rot and make the home fall apart completely. If you have water damage from hurricanes or other natural disasters, other elements could have come in with the water such as sand.
This increases the chance of your home having structural damage. This is especially dangerous as you do not want the home to collapse.
Pests
Water in the home is more likely to attract a variety of different pests. If you see many different bugs inside the home suddenly like silverfish, carpenter ants, or beetles, this could be a sign that you have serious water damage in the home.
You might also notice rodents setting up camp in your home even if the home is clean and normally wouldn’t attract rodents.
Electrical Issues
When the inside of your home has water damage, the outlets and wiring in the home will also get water damage. This can cause currents to run through the outlets and cause you to get shocked when you are plugging something in. This is extremely dangerous, especially when you have children in the home.
When you have electrical problems, you will need to contact an electrician as well as water remediation experts. In some cases, you might also need a plumber since pipe leaks can cause issues with wires and electricity.
We are here to fix all the structural damage that water can cause in your home. After we have assessed the damage, we can begin fixing the walls and floors as well as whatever else might be needed. We will then completely clean the home from top to bottom to ensure there is no mold, water, or dirt left behind.
