Water damage can occur due to fires, broken pipes, flooding and a variety of other problems. It doesn’t matter what type of water that enters a building, a Water Damage Restoration Service in Troy can remove the water, secure the building and begin the drying and repair of the building. Depending on the type of water that has entered a building will determine what needs to be done and whether it poses a serious health risk to the individuals within the building or performing the cleaning. If the water comes from a sewer line, toilet overflow or ground water, there are many more potential health risks involved in removing the water and properly cleaning the building.
A toilet bowl can overflow and still be safe if there is no fecal material in the bowl at the time of the overflow. This is considered gray water. An appliance overflow like a dishwasher or washing machine is also considered gray water. A fish tank can contain many different bacteria’s, but is considered gray water as well. This type of water has bacteria within the water, but can be easily disinfected. Water Damage Restoration Service in Troy can determine how contaminated the area may be with bacteria and begin cleaning and drying it out quickly.
Clean water that floods an area is such items as:
1. Broken water pipes that deliver water.
2. Water lines that fail that lead to appliances.
3. Toilet tanks, sinks or bathtub overflow.
Clean water still needs to be removed and the area properly dried. A Professional Fire Restoration Service can help clean up the water, dry the building out and get the homeowners or business ready to use the entire space again. Large dehumidifiers will be brought into the building to start removing all of the water from the air. Once the water is removed from the air, drying equipment will be brought in to remove the moisture from carpeting, furniture, and any other items that have been saturated with water. If the drywall is wet, it will be removed and repaired properly to eliminate the chance for mold to grow. Don’t attempt to clean a business or home after water damage has occurred. Contact a company that is trained in removing water, drying a building out and repairing the damage that was left behind.
