5 Methods in Water Restoration Process

9/8/2021 (Permalink)

In normal situations, the kitchen and bathroom are significant sources of moisture and airborne particles.

Before, when a property was water-damaged, it would be considered useless. But with today’s technology and modern-day solutions, such houses can be livable once again. Water damage restoration services are usually a daunting and risky task especially when an individual or unprofessional expert handles it. This is even more true in cases where water interferes with the electronic wiring system. An ordinary person who is unaware of such possibilities who tries to control the restoration will be prone to electric shock. 

To get to know it better, there are some of the methods used by water restoration technicians in their job: 

1. Removal of the Floodwater

To start water restoration, the stagnant water must be rid of. The longer the water stays there the more expensive the damage will be. Water damage restoration services use a submersible pump to remove water accumulations in various structures around the premises. These are highly efficient pumps and make drying entire sections easier. 

• Mapping off the Moisture

After removing the stagnant water, it is important to get an idea of the water damage extent, to develop efficient steps to solve possible mold growth. Water restoration technicians nowadays use much more advanced infrared and digital imaging to determine the damage without damaging the floors and walls.

• Inspection and Removing of Molds 

The next step is house treatment against molds and mildews. Residual stagnant water in any property, residential or business creates an ideal habitat for fungal forms to thrive. In addition, the countermeasures will be very useful to avert any further damages. Water restoration technicians use special fungicide detergents to sterilize the area and make the surroundings unfavorable for mold growth. Deodorization and ventilation measures can help remove airborne contaminants, mold spores, and unpleasant odors.

• Drying the Area

Air movers dry the premises by controlling humidity and improving air circulation. The liquid is removed from porous materials like carpets and woods. Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air and help remove the remaining water from the house. Desiccant humidifiers use raw materials that naturally absorb moisture from the environment while refrigerant dehumidifiers cool the air to reduce its ability to retain water.

• Renovation

In normal situations, the kitchen and bathroom are significant sources of moisture and airborne particles. These areas are usually wet and expected to be severely damaged in floods due to many plumbing fixtures and drains that these rooms cannot do without.
