WATER RESTORATION SERVICE 24/7

Dealing with flood damage in South Florida is something no homeowner or business owner wants to ever encounter, but sometimes it just can’t be avoided. Floods can happen during heavy rains, storms, or hurricanes. They can also happen due to overflowing toilets, burst pipes, or leaky water heaters.

Whether your flood damage is caused by a natural disaster or something like a burst pipe, it’s crucial to deal with the damage immediately before worse problems occur.

Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t ignore flood damage and why you should contact a professional like F&S Carpet Cleaning as soon as possible to help you fix any issues.

Not only is mold unsightly and smelly, but it can also cause health problems. Many types of mold can cause respiratory issues and also aggravate conditions like asthma. If you have walls or floors that were damaged from a flood, mold will begin to grow within a few days to a week. Mold doesn’t just grow on walls and floors--it can grow on a number of surfaces.

If you don’t wait and contact a professional like F&S Carpet Cleaning quickly, many things can be salvaged from water damage. For example, if a wall has sustained damage, it may be possible to save the drywall if we’re brought out to your property ASAP.

We can also make an assessment of anything else that’s been damaged. More often than not, water damage is not easily visible. With our trained eyes and equipment, we can make a seasoned recommendation on what needs to be fixed and how quickly it should be addressed.

Once you call our company out to help clean up the intrusive water, we will begin extracting all standing water and excess moisture with a vacuum. This helps to efficiently remove the water quickly before it can cause further damage. After the water has been removed with vacuums, we will set up fans and dryers throughout the wet area.

Drying out your house can take several days, depending on how long the water sat there before it was removed. This step of the process should never be rushed. If the drying process is stopped before everything is completely dried out, then your home could be facing more repairs later down the road and even potentially have issues with structural integrity.
