Things To Consider Before DIY Water Damage
When a water damage disaster cripples your Quincy home, your first response may be that you want to handle the problem on your own. Before you try to tackle any DIY restoration, here are a few things you should consider.
Water Damage In Quincy
1. You do not have professional equipment
With the use of professional-grade water extractors, heavy-duty air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, and top-of-the-line industry equipment, professional restoration services can ensure a thorough and adequate restoration. When water is left behind, or not dried completely, it leaves your home at risk of further damage. Mold growth is one of the biggest secondary problems following damage, and any left-over or excess moisture will result in mold growth. Mold can begin growing in as little as 24-48 hours after water has become present. Along with mold, structural damage is another problem that comes with water damage. Porous materials (i.e. wood, drywall, insulation, etc.) will absorb water on contact and as long as that water remains, until they have become fully saturated. Once these materials reach saturation, they will begin to swell, bow, crack, warp, bend, break, deteriorate, well you get the picture. Without the use of industrial equipment and technology to find hidden moisture, you risk the structural integrity of your home attempting to clean up after damage on your own. The longer it takes to remove and dry the water, the more damage the materials of your home will suffer.
2. You Do Not Have The Time To Devote Solely To Restoration
Water damage cleanup is a time intensive, and time sensitive endeavor. Since most of us have busy lives with not a lot of spare time in our schedules, trying to take on a project of this magnitude is not probable. Instead, it would end up becoming something you squeeze into any spare time you find throughout the day. The problem with working on water damage restoration here and there is that the longer water sits, the more damage your home will sustain – which will actually lead to even more time and money invested to fix the problem. Professional restoration companies do just that for a living – restore water damage. Not only will they be able to work on the project non-stop, from start to finish, but most also offer emergency response services so they can be there as soon as the disaster strikes. Having trained professionals on the scene, working endlessly to get the source of water stopped, extracted, and dried completely will provide the best results for your home as quickly as possible – saving you time and money in the long haul.
3. You Do Not Need The Added Stress
Having water damage in your home is stress enough by itself.
