8 Things Most Homeowners Don’t Know About How Water Damage Affects a Home

  1. Your carpet will dry by itself without any problem?  WRONG!  Your home needs professional restoration if more than 10 square feet of carpet is wet.
  2. The dark spaces between your walls grow mold much easier than you think
  3. All it takes is as little as 10 gallons of water to cause permanent water damage
  4. Water damage not only causes mold, it can also cause the studs within your wall to dry rot and attract termites if not treated right away
  5. Your single biggest concern shouldn’t be the carpet.  In fact, you should be more concerned about your walls drying.
  6. Extracting all the water out of my home with a shop vacuum will cure the problem.  Not always.  If your water problem covers more than a tiny area, water quickly wicks into drywall and will require professional restoration.
  7. Why simply removing the carpet won’t reverse the water damage.  You’ll still need to give attention to drying your walls
  8. Do you check moisture in carpet and walls with your hands?  No!  This is a common mistake.  Your hands are fill with moisture from your body.  The only accurate way to assure your home is dry is to use professional moisture meters.

The good news is you can call FloodEx Restoration of Virginia right now to prevent all these problems.

You’ve heard an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure?  You can spend a few dollars preventing problems now or spend a fortune fixing water damage problems later.

If you have water in your home, right now is the time to act!  The longer you wait, the greater damage will build up later.

Do You Recognize These 5 WARNING Signs of Water Damage?

  1. Musty odors.  These are a sign moisture still exists somewhere within your walls or flooring.
  2. Buckled wood.  Hardwood floors will often buckle if they are not dried properly.  As well, baseboards and door frames tend to buckle.
  3. Water rings on carpet, walls, or ceiling.  This is a sign of water being present or having been present.
  4. Soft drywall in your walls and ceilings.  Use a screwdriver to probe the area.  If the drywall is easy to penetrate, this is a sign of heavy amounts of moisture present.
  5. The most obvious sign is visible water.  If water is in your home do NOT assume it will dry on its own.  Get a professional to evaluate the problem.

How We Prevent Water Damage From Ruining Your Home or Office

At FloodEx Restoration of Virginia, we use a professional procedure to first evaluate then dry your building.

  1. Moisture inspection.  A thorough evaluation is performed with professional moisture meters on your carpet, hardwood floor, tile, walls, and ceilings.  This tells us the extent of water damage.
  2. Water extraction.  Water in carpeting is extracted with our truck mounted extraction system.  If carpet or carpet padding needs to be removed, we’ll remove it.
  3. Professional drying equipment.  For the water left behind in walls (as well as baseboards, cabinets, and flooring), special dehumidifiers and air movement devices are brought in.  These machines are designed to pull left over moisture out of walls.
  4. Moisture and equipment monitoring.  The equipment used to dry your building is monitored with professional meters until everything is dry.

Don’t wait!  Call FloodEx Restoration of Virginia to take care of your water problem.
