Simple Factors Complicate Water Damage Restoration

Most water leaks are mundane events that a couple of mops and towels quickly resolve or help contain until a plumber plugs the leak point. However, you may find yourself in unfamiliar territory when a problem you expect to resolve in record time starts devolving. There might be more water than you can handle, overwhelming your removal efforts, or some materials might take too long to dry - for instance, carpets have multilayers of fibers, padding, and backing, which delays drying. Another frustrating aspect is physical changes like ceiling panels sagging and doors or windows getting stuck days after the water leak.

Why So Many Problems?

Materials exposed to moisture undergo different changes. Swelling is likely as the fibers attempt to accommodate more water so the stuck doors and windows are not unhinged. Wet materials provide perfect breeding grounds for microbes like bacteria and fungi. The dark spots or discoloration patches on walls and ceilings after prolonged wetness indicate that mold must be addressed as part of water damage restoration.

Other Water-Related Problems 

  • Humidity and condensation build-up 

  • Deterioration of furniture glues  

  • Strange smells

AdvantaClean of Sandy Springs to the Rescue 

Working alone in the face of water damage multiplies the frustrations, unlike tackling the situation with the help of a professional team. By leveraging technology, most of the problems you find insurmountable are easier to tackle. For example, vacuum extractors and pumps simplify the removal of any amount of water, completing water damage restoration in a timely manner.

Removing stagnant water is a partial solution. Moisture absorbed by fabrics and structural materials can continue wreaking havoc, building more frustration. Moisture management requires better planning and the right equipment. When our team sets up dehumidifiers on arrival at your home, moisture levels diminish since we stop humidity build-up and kickstart drying. Moisture meters help enhance drying by tracking the moisture levels in materials. We also enhance the drying process by running air movers simultaneously with the air movers.
