Cleaning After Home Flooding

You are probably wondering what you should do after a pipe broke and is leaking water everywhere or if you just had a flood. The first and foremost step is to stop the water supply if possible and then call the professionals at the Perfection Restoration in Madison, Wisconsin to get your home back in tip-top shape.

Not all restoration jobs are the same. They are all different and one of a kind in some cases. The amount of work required for a single job is unknown until the professionals can determine all the factors. The factors can include things as the amount of area that the water has touched or damaged and also how long the water has been sitting there. After the technicians at Perfection Restoration gather up all their information needed, they will be able to start the water damage cleanup.

The water damage cleaning is more than just wiping the residue away and letting the area dry. The professionals take their time and get into areas where the water could have soaked into. If you don’t check in certain places where the water could have seeped, the damage will be even bigger. The water can seep into walls, furniture, and flooring, causing mold and mildew. Typically, the large majority of homeowners only see the damage done to the surface – the certified professionals at Perfection Restoration are trained to look even further because water will seep into an area that it can.

Steps to Cleaning up Water

• The first step to cleaning up is removing any standing water that is present. The technicians will simply use a vacuum like equipment to suck up the water in the area. The amount of time this takes all depends on how much water there actually is and the size of the room.
• After the standing water is completely removed from the area, the drying process is next. The professionals at Perfection Restoration will have different types of air movers around your home to help circulate the air movement in your home. If you have hardwood floors, they could use floor mats which help draw the water out of the floor. The technicians may have to come up with some methods such as removing baseboards or whatever they need to do to prevent having to demolish and rebuild the home.
• Wet areas are taped off and drying phrases happen, which is also called containment. This is important because it traps the heat and suction to that area, so it can be dried quickly as soon as possible. During the whole drying process, the crew will monitor everything, take temperatures and humidity levels to ensure everything is progressing. They want to make sure that the dehumidifiers aren’t putting wet air into the room. The professionals at Perfection Restoration will constantly be inspecting until the rooms are declared dry.
• Anything that got touched by the water will also be sanitized with special disinfectants and detergents.
