  • Water Damage

Flooding can cause significant damage to homes, businesses, and their contents. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to mitigate the damage that flooding can cause. The first step is to make your property safe. Make sure you clean up loose materials such as carpet and furniture. These items may become soaked in water or contain contaminates.

You can also protect your home by installing additional ventilation and maintenance on your roof, downspouts, and windows. In addition, you should ensure that your drain catches are cleared regularly. This prevents water from flowing into the building, which can cause structural damage.

If you’re in the middle of a flood, it’s important to call a professional right away. Not only will this help you avoid unnecessary damage, it will also protect your health. Untreated water can cause several health hazards including respiratory problems, fungus, and even bacteria. It can also spread through the air and irritate your eyes and skin.

Depending on the damage, it can take a long time to restore your home. However, if you act quickly, most damage situations can be successfully restored.

There are many things that you can do to prepare for a flood, such as taking pictures of the damage before starting the restoration process. Taking these steps will give you an idea of the work that needs to be done to return your home to normal.

Whether your home has been damaged by a natural disaster or simply by overflowing pipes, the process of cleaning up after a flood can be difficult. It’s recommended that you contact a water damage restoration company. They’ll provide equipment and a team of professionals to help you get your home back on track.

Some of the things that you will need to consider are the source of the flooding, the category of the water, and the amount of time it will take for the water to dry. Depending on the type of water and its condition, you’ll need to treat it differently. For example, Category 1 water may be relatively easy to clean up, but Category 2 or 3 water may need to be treated more carefully.

During the cleanup, you should move damaged furniture and raise them out of standing water. Also, you should throw away any food that was contaminated with water. Similarly, rugs and plastic furniture should be thrown away because they can carry contaminates.

When you have a flood, you should focus on the safety of yourself and your family. Make sure you have a safe place to stay and take the money with you. Ideally, you’ll need at least a couple of days before you can go back to your home.

After a flood, it’s important to get your home back to normal as quickly as possible. To do this, it’s best to use a reputable restoration service provider like United Restoration Services Inc. A reputable company will use dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the structure behind the walls and other spaces.

What People Are Saying...

Working with Mario and his team at United Restoration Services was a pleasure! His team quickly came to our residence after we experienced severe water damage. They were calm, walked us through the process, and, remediated and cleaned all the damaged areas. They guided us through the claims process, and were highly professional. These situations are very stressful, and Mario's follow-up afterwards was very helpful!
United Restoration services are top notch. They cleaned a house we had been renting for the past year. No detail escaped them. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and got right to work. I have never seen such exacting attention to the cleaning process. The house sparkled after they were finished. Would totally recommend without hesitation!!!
A pipe burst, my condominium was flooded; two floors and one ceiling were ruined. Not more than a few hours passed before an entire crew showed up (at night) to begin the clean up, place five industrial-type fans between the two floors, returned the following day to continue with clean up. Members of this team continued for several days to return, remove garbage, check on wetness, etc. This group, headed by Mario Lutz was incredible.
This letter should reflect more than a thank you. This letter is authorization for you to give my name and number to anyone that requires your services. They will be told of your knowledgeable communication, ability to handle any size job, meet deadlines , and willingness to work with other contractors to ensure no delays. Thank you again for performance instead of excuses.
I cannot fully express how pleased I was with the service provided by United Restoration Services Inc. Cynthia Mason and her wonderful crew completed the job on time (very reliable), the work was above and beyond my expectations. If their service is required, I strongly recommend them.
