Why You Should Not DIY Water Damage Restoration

Water damage can be devastating to your home or business and health. If you have ever experienced water damage, you know just how stressful and overwhelming it can feel to have to deal with. Luckily, there are water damage restoration experts like RestoreX who can work to get your home or business restored to its once pristine state with less stress to you. Not only is it more convenient to work with a water damage restoration professional, but it is actually recommended. Here are a few things to consider when it comes to working with a team of water damage restoration specialists.

 

Equipment

When you have experienced water damage in your property, it is important that not even a trace of moisture is left behind. For those of us who do not have access to the sensors and monitors that water damage restoration experts have, we are left to rely on our five senses to assess if the water is gone. Unfortunately in most cases that just isn’t enough. Water damage restoration companies have special equipment to assist with this, and that can make the water restoration process more effective and guarantee success.

 

Experience & Teamwork

If you have never dealt with water damage before, there will be a lot of time invested in learning how to complete the tasks as well as completing the tasks themselves- sometimes more than once! This can not only cause you to lose a lot of valuable time, but it can make the restoration process take much longer than necessary. It is also possible that you will be attempting to do the job yourself or with a smaller team than a water damage restoration company may have access to. Having more people can be a huge benefit when working on complex tasks like water damage restoration. Putting your trust in water damage restoration experts will ensure that the job will get done quicker and more efficiently thanks to their knowledge and experience.

 

Risks of Mold 

Water damage creates an ideal environment for mold to grow and spread. After your residential or commercial property is exposed to water damage, mold only needs 24 hours to begin establishing itself. Any trace of moisture left behind in building materials or personal belongings can also invite mold to grow even after the restoration is complete. By working with a professional you can rest easy knowing that your home or business will not be at risk of mold after experiencing water damage. In the event that your home or business has already begun to show signs of mold, RestoreX can also assist with the mold removal process, making us your one stop shop for home restoration.

 

Contaminated Water

Water travels rapidly and gets exposed to many unpleasant things during the process. When water invades your home either from a flood, burst pipe, or any other situation, it is possible that the water has become contaminated by chemicals, bacteria, allergens, pollutants, and even bloodborne pathogens and harmful viruses that may be carried in human waste. Putting yourself in a situation where you are responsible for restoring your home or business after damage is putting yourself at risk for infections, illnesses, and other physical damage. A professional team will have the right protective equipment to stay safe in these situations, and the expertise to know how to make your property a safe environment without the risk of cross contamination and with additional sanitization and disinfecting services.

 

These are only a few examples of why working with a professional water damage restoration team may benefit you. There are many risks that can come from dealing with water damage without the proper training- both to yourself and your property.
