The Importance of Hiring Reputable Water Removal Specialists After a Disaster Event
Posted 1 month ago in Disaster Recovery, Steamatic, Water Damage Restoration
Deploying reputable water removal specialists following a water disaster event, such as a burst pipe, water leak from storm damage, or from rising flood water, is crucial for several reasons:
- Expertise and Experience: Reputable water removal specialists possess the necessary expertise and experience to effectively assess the extent of water damage and implement the most appropriate remediation strategies. At Steamatic, we are IICRC certified to handle various types of water damage scenarios and know how to mitigate the damage efficiently.
- Preventing Further Damage: Water damage can escalate rapidly if not addressed promptly and properly. By engaging professionals, you can prevent further damage to your client’s property and belongings. Prompt water removal and drying reduce the risk of structural deterioration, mould growth, and other long-term issues.
- Advanced Equipment and Techniques: Reputable water removal companies invest in state-of-the-art equipment and employ advanced techniques for water extraction, drying, and restoration. We utilise industrial-grade pumps, dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection tools, which are essential for thorough water extraction and drying.
- Mould Prevention: Excess moisture from water damage creates an ideal environment for mould growth. Mould can start to develop within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. Professional water removal specialists not only extract water but also thoroughly dry affected areas to prevent mould growth. We use specialised techniques to detect and address hidden moisture pockets, reducing the risk of mould developing.
- Health and Safety: Standing water and damp environments pose significant health risks, including respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and infections. This can result in significant business interruption including temporary relocation away from the damaged property. Reputable water removal specialists deploy industry best practices which are fast and efficient, reducing any disruption to business operations or reducing inconveniences to residents. We also ensure proper disposal of contaminated water and materials, minimising health hazards for occupants.
- Insurance Assistance: Dealing with insurance claims can be daunting, especially in the aftermath of a water disaster event. Reputable water removal specialists have experience working with insurance companies and can assist you throughout the claims process. At Steamatic, we document the extent of the damage, provide detailed assessment reports, and inventories that are seamlessly communicated to insurers on your behalf, streamlining the claims process and maximising your chances of fair compensation.
- Peace of Mind: Facing a water disaster can be overwhelming but hiring a reputable water removal specialist gives you peace of mind knowing that trained professionals are handling the situation.We take care of the entire water removal and restoration process, allowing you to focus on other priorities.
Deploying a reputable water removal specialist after a water disaster event is essential for mitigating damage, preventing mould growth, ensuring health and safety, and facilitating a smooth recovery process. Investing in professional water removal services can ultimately save time, money, and hassle while restoring your property to its pre-event condition.
