Orlando Water Damage Restoration

Water damage is one of the most common–and destructive–types of homeowner claims in the U.S., with nearly 65% of all insurance losses related to water.

The term “water damage” encompasses a wide selection of incidents, but even incidents that appear to be minimal can quickly become a big concern.

Water can find its way into areas that most homeowners (not to mention wet vacs) cannot reach, such as beneath flooring, behind baseboards, and between walls. If you’ve recently been a victim of water damage, it is vital that you have it handled by a highly trained professional.

Signs Of Water Damage

Sometimes, it’s obvious when you are dealing with water damage. If your home has experienced flooding or large amounts of standing water in any particular area, you should act quickly to dry out the rooms to limit the amount of water damage. But other times, the evidence of water damage can be less noticeable.

There are several tell-tale signs that you are dealing with water damage. Dark or wet spots on the walls or ceilings are clear symptoms of water damage. A damp, musty, or moldy smell can also indicate that you have an issue. Even an unexpected increase in your utility bills could be a hint that there’s a developing issue.

Water damage on baseboards can also indicate a more serious issue. It doesn’t take much for any water damage to your baseboards to seep into the wall behind them. This can lead to warped walls, ugly finishes, and expensive repairs unless you act immediately to fix the damages.

Mitigation

The first step in the water damage restoration process is to remove the water and stop the issue from getting worse.

Unfortunately, water intrusion can come from a variety of sources:

Flood damage
Roof leaks
Faulty appliances (such as water heaters and dishwashers)
Burst or leaky pipes
Fire hoses

However the damage occurs, the first step is to get as much of the water out as quickly as possible. Our commercial-grade pumps and vacuums can remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water in a matter of minutes.

Remediation

Simply having a large amount of water in your home is not the biggest concern. Water can seep into cracks, soak into porous surfaces, and settle in low-lying spots, causing further damage.

Drywall and wood make excellent building materials…and great sponges. When these materials absorb moisture, it takes a long time for them to dry out. In the meantime, drywall is becoming soggy, wood is warping, metal is rusting. Before you know it, your home is susceptible to mold, termites, and other dangers.

Our dehumidifying process targets any water that lies beneath the visible surfaces in your home, preventing the need for costly problems later on.

Water Damage Repair

“Water damage” isn’t just a saying; water can cause serious harm to your home. If wood, drywall, and other building materials are in contact with water for too long, drying them out isn’t enough.

That’s where we come in.
