Even in Tampa, water damage isn’t usually caused by floods or rain.

Most residential and commercial water damage is caused by internal issues, not Mother Nature, even in Florida. Of course Tampa Bay area residents will see some water damage due to natural causes, but most home and business owners will experience these issues:

•  Structural – basement flooding, roof damage, slab leaks, leaky windows
•  Plumbing – dishwashers, water heaters, toilets, shut-off valves, sprinkler systems
•  Excessive humidity from drain line or frozen A/C
•  Hot tubs, pools, waterbeds, vandalism

Left for as few as three days, even a small leak in your home can kickstart the growth of mold. Mold removal is a time-consuming and expensive process. Make sure to call us to get the water out, before you need mold remediation.

Water Damage

Flooding and water damage will oftentimes affect homeowners and business owners when they least expect it. Water can quickly build up in a residence and affect a person’s belongings and property, whether the source be from a natural disaster, burst pipe, appliance failure, or human error.

This is why it is important for individuals to have the contact information for a professional water damage restoration company that is able to help others anytime 24/7.

Professionals who specialize in removing standing water and addressing water damage oftentimes have tools and equipment that homeowners do not, which makes them much faster and more effective than a person trying to remediate water damage in their home themselves. The best way to stop water damage from being a serious issue for furniture and other items is to act as quickly as possible to remove water and dry out excess moisture that can stay behind once standing water has been addressed.

Water damage from standing water is not something that should be taken lightly, as it can cause irreparable damage to many different types of materials, leaving homeowners without their belongings and short on cash.

 

Stopping the Source of Water If Applicable

If water is building up in a home or business due to a mechanical failure of some sort, there is a good chance that the water will continue to accumulate unless an individual is able to stop the water at its source.

This may mean that homeowners will have to turn off the main water break in their home and wait for the pipe or appliance to be fixed or replaced.

This is not an option if the source of water is the result of natural causes such as seasonal rain or severe storms that are common in the state of Florida. Even when living in the state of Florida with an active hurricane season every year, it is important for homeowners and business owners to keep in mind that most flooding and water damage in a building is not caused by inclement weather or a natural disaster, but from an appliance breaking or human error. 

 

Assessment by Water Damage Professionals

When an individual has gotten in contact with a water damage professional to come out and assist them with water build up in their home, it is important that these professionals go around the property and assess the water damage that is present.

Many people mistakenly believe that water damage is all the same, but this is not true for professionals. There are three main classifications of water damage depending on if there are any substances in the water that are present in a home or business.

The worst of the different types of water that can happen from water damage in a home is known as black water. This type of water damage will have raw sewage or some sort of contaminants that could be dangerous to individuals and make them sick. Many times inside this is related to the toilet or septic tank of a home, but it can also come from outside sources as well.

The better of the three types of water damage that can occur is clean or clear water, which implies that there is nothing floating around in the water that is present. This is the type of water that happens as the result of a bursted pipe or an appliance failure from a dishwasher or washing machine.

The last type of water damage that needs to be taken into account by professionals is gray water, which is when some additional material is present in the water, but not as much to make the water black.

 

Removing Water From a Building

The key to having successful water extraction and remediation is to act as quickly as possible, and not let furniture and other times hang around in standing water. If water is left for too long, it can cause a person’s belongings to get ruined, but it can also create the perfect environment for mold growth, which can make people sick.

The best way that professionals will remove any water from a residence is to use large machines and tools that can extract the water effortlessly and help the environment dry any excess moisture that has been absorbed by the surrounding area.

This is why it is so important for people dealing with water damage or standing water to call a professional company that can quickly assess the situation and begin working removing the water from the building.
