Water Mitigation

Water Mitigation is the process of preventing or reducing the amount of water damage that happens after a wind storm to a roof, water damage to dwelling/contents from firemen caused by a firesomething like, a leaking pipe or e tc.a flooded basement.

Water mitigation is often required after plumbing failures, floods, or water rushes into homes after a storm.

Things to do when you detect water damage:

Stay calm. You need to be able to think clearly.
Close down the water main. If your flood is related to appliances or pipes, shut down all sources of water to reduce damage.
After that, shut down electrical breakers in the damaged areas. Make sure electricity is off before removing or unplugging any of the electrical equipment from the submerged areas or the wet carpet!
Call us for water damage restoration.
Remove fabrics, papers, books, potted plants, shoes and other items capable of staining the wet carpet.
Mop and blot in order to remove as much water as you can.
Remove the rugs and anything that is not permanently attached to the floor. Don't try to remove the wall-to-wall carpet.
The curtains should be lifted from the floor. Loop them through a coat hanger. Place this hanger on the drapery rod.
Take a cloth and wipe the furniture. Place the wet cushions in a dry place in order to allow even drying. Place an aluminum foil under the legs of the furniture.
Move paintings, art, and photos to a dry and safe location.
Open the drawers, cabinet doors, and closets in order to circulate air and enhance the drying.

Things to avoid when you detect water damage:

Avoid using the home vacuum. There is a risk of electrical shock, and there can be damage to the equipment as well.
Avoid placing newspapers in the areas where you or other people will walk. The newspaper ink can quickly transfer to the wet fibers of the carpet and this can result in permanent staining.
Don't
- Walk on the carpet except when necessary. This will keep the damage from spreading to the unaffected areas.
- Enter any room that has standing water. If you must enter a room with standing water, turn off the electricity to the house.
- Lift the tacked-down carpet without professional help.
- Use electrical appliances when you have wet floors or carpet.
- Remove books from the shelves.

Shop vacuums or the companies that only have carpet drying equipment can't prevent the water from damaging the walls, under molding or baseboards. The water penetrates through the floor coverings into the subfloors, and it eventually causes damage to the rooms located below.
If the building's internal moisture isn't controlled, the undamaged objects that are safe from original flood damage can get ruined because it is absorbing moisture from the air. The structures that are not dried fast or adequately enough will serve as food sources for mold. This will later lead to more expensive mold removal services.
