Water Heater: They are a big culprit for water damage in homes. All water heaters should be installed in the lowest level of your home. This will help to minimize damage if it should develop a leak. Also look for rust and wear. Around the time you start to see this occur is also around the time you should replace the water heater.
Storm Damage Restoration Airlock — An airlock is a small compartment that enters a contaminated space without affecting the other areas. It uses air pressure to contain the air that is locked in.
Once you have determined that the areas are wet (walls and carpet), you’ll need to bring in special designed carpet air movers and commercial dehumidifiers (a rental center will have them). Now please understand that a home residential dehumidifier and a regular house fan will not do the same. I have experimented with using these products and have found out that they do not come close to what the other machines do. The air fans are then placed under the carpet and placed to the wall (wall base removed and holes drilled under the wall base line). The commercial dehumidifier is placed in the room. Again an IICRC certified Water Damage Restoration Contractor has these equipments.
Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration If you have found water in your large basement, you can use water mitigation equipments which will suck all the moisture right out of the areas. The main thing is to do is that block the main source of basement flooding. It could be from either ground water and water from crack or surface calgary water damage.
Examine your kitchen and bath sinks and pipes, particularly where the trap meets the wall. Water leaks often occur behind a sink cabinet. In addition, the p-track often the first place where backed-up water will overflow. The valves and supply lines should also be examined to make sure they are in good working condition.
