FOUR BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DRYING
This principle covers the fastest way for water removal from an effected area. We use commercial grade pumps, extractors URCPRO technician will remove excess water to prevent mold from building. Application of this principle will mitigate damage by containing migrating water, keeping it from spreading to areas that are not yet affected.
Evaporation
Water that can not be removed after our water removal process, extraction, mopping, and so forth, must be evaporated. This process is successfully accomplished by the use of specialized fans and the use of heat.
Dehumidification
After the water is evaporated into the air, the next step in the water removal process is dehumidification. This step reduces moisture in the air to help dry out the space completely. We use professional-grade dehumidifiers or safely vent the humid air outside to prevent further damage and mold growth.
Temperature control
Temperature is a big factor in how fast things dry during water damage restoration. Using the right amount of heat helps speed up both evaporation and dehumidification.
Sources Of Water Damage
Water can get into your home in several different ways, either from inside or outside. Sometimes the water is clean, but it can also be dirty or contaminated.
Storm damage, like strong winds, can cause rain to leak through the roof. In winter, ice dams on sloped roofs can push water under the shingles and into the house.
Water damage can happen for many reasons, and not all of them are obvious. Poor construction, broken plumbing, or frozen pipes that burst can send water into areas where it shouldn’t be. The source could be clean water from drinking lines or dirty water from a sewer backup. In situations in need of water removal, professional water damage restoration are often necessary to prevent further damage and ensure the property is safe and dry.
Water damage can also come from leaking appliances, broken water beds, flooding from storms or rising rivers, and even vandalism. In many of these cases, professional water damage restoration services are essential to mitigate the damage and begin the water removal process.
Sometimes water damage happens during a fire when large amounts of water are used to put out the flames. Water can also rise into a home from the ground. When the soil around a foundation is saturated, pressure can force water through concrete walls and floors, spreading it to other areas—often requiring immediate water removal and restoration to prevent further damage.
Even without visible water, damage can occur. Some materials naturally absorb moisture from the air, especially during long periods of high humidity, making timely water damage restoration crucial.
How To Minimize Water Damage
- If possible, stop the water at its source.
- Turn off the electricity and remove small electrical devices from the areas with excess water, if it is safe to do so. This helps reduce hazards before water damage restoration begins.
- Avoid walking on wet carpet, as this can worsen the damage and hinder the water removal process.
- Remove small furnishings from carpeted areas or place aluminum foil under furniture legs. This helps prevent permanent rust or furniture stains that may complicate restoration efforts.
- Hang draperies and pin up furniture skirts to avoid contact with wet floors, which can retain moisture and slow water damage restoration progress.
- Remove any breakables, moisture-sensitive and high-value items, as well as items that may stain floor coverings. Check under the beds and other furnishings to clear the way for water removal teams.
- Plan for water damage restoration crews to move furniture into dry areas and begin the water removal process as soon as possible.
- Wash your hands after handling damaged items to avoid exposure to contaminants often found in floodwater.
- Avoid the possibility of electric shock. Do not use a home vacuum or shop vacuum to perform water removal, as this could be dangerous.
- Avoid the temptation to turn on fans or heating and air conditioning units, especially if the water damage is sewage-related, as this could spread harmful contamination before professional restoration is complete.
