How Restoration Professionals Deal With Water Pipe Cleanup
Not sure how we can help you? Our professionals can quickly clean up the mess that the pipes have left behind. First, we will need to do repairs and clean up the water leak. Since water can cause large damage to your home in a short time span, we work hard to ensure the water is cleaned up as soon as possible.
While it might be tempting to do the cleaning yourself, properly drying the floor and walls is hard when you do not have commercial equipment.
You want to ensure everything is properly dried so that you don’t have to deal with issues of mold growing in the future.
Call us today at 833-379-3696 to schedule an appointment.
Step One: Safety
Everyone in our company cares for your safety and your own. So, we might have to turn the power off in your home if the leak happened near appliances in the kitchen. This is for your own protection.
Once we have the water cleaned up and the appliances and wires are not in danger of getting wet, we can turn the power back on.
Step Two: Remove Wet Items
Now, we need to remove everything that is wet in the home. This includes carpets, rugs, and furniture. Some of these items might be able to be kept, but it depends on how extensive the water damage is.
Step Three: Clean the Floors
Often, water can stand still on the floors. We will need to dry the floor using special commercial equipment. We might also have to rip up certain parts of the floor to dry it better. We will also put fans in the room when we are done so that it can dry the floor faster.
If the weather is nice outside, we recommend opening the windows so that fresh air can come in. Rooms that have been wet for a long time tend to have a musty smell that can linger even after it has dried. Fresh air will help to remove the musty smell.
Step Four: Dehumidifier
We have large portable dehumidifiers that we will set up in your home for several days. Humidity and moisture can remain in the rooms and home for a long time. When there is excellent humidity in a room, you risk the chance of mold growth.
Dehumidifiers allow the room to dry quicker even though we have already used commercial equipment to dry the floors and walls.
Step Five: Desiccant Products
These are special commercial products we use to remove moisture from the walls and floors. We will place them near the walls that have the most moisture in them to help speed the process of them drying out.
Step Six: Test the Room
Once we have done all the work, we have special moisture readers and thermal technology that can gauge the humidity and temperature inside the walls and floor. This tells us if we have removed most of the moisture or if there still might be high levels left.
If the readers are not to our satisfaction, we will use our special drying equipment to cover the room again. We never leave a project or home before the moisture readers are low enough to make your home safe without the chance of mold growth.
Why Did Your Pipe Burst?
Before we complete our work, we also ensure that you know the cause of the pipe bursting. This allows you to avoid further damage in the future. If it’s winter time, your pipe properly bursts because the water froze. When water freezes, it expands and causes the pipe to burst.
Sometimes, tree roots might be the culprit of a broken pipe. If you have large trees in your home, we will investigate if the roots are growing deep into the ground and wrapping themselves around your pipes.
If this is the case, we can recommend a company to come and remove the tree so you don’t have to worry about it happening again.
If your pipes are old, the cause of the pipe bursting could be rust or corrosion. Both of these issues cause cracks to develop in the pipe which eventually causes them to rupture.
The last main cause of pipe bursting is a clog. Clogs cause the pressure in the pipe to become too high eventually causing it to bust. This is just one of the reasons why you should try not to let food, hair, and other items fall down the sink and shower into the pipes below.
The Benefits of Letting Us Handle Your Cleanup
While some of the steps on this list can be done by you, why not let us do all the hard work for you? If water has already gone into your drywall or underneath the flooring, you will not be able to effectively dry everything on your own.
Our process helps you restore the beauty to your home that was there before the pipe leaked. Because we work quickly and effectively, there is a better chance of your floors and furniture being restored rather than completely replaced.
