If you have experienced significant water damage or flooding within your home or building, you must call ProTech Restoration <\/strong>right away in order prevent the damage from spreading and have it restored effectively. When water affects the building materials, it will always flow to the areas of least resistance, which is usually between the floorboards.<\/p>\n
Your subfloors and baseboards will then become damaged and it will be difficult to dry them completely unless they are restored right away. However, if they are not treated quickly, they will become delaminated at the seams, swelled, and discolored. Over time, they will even start to dissolve, spreading to other areas, including the ceiling when the moisture evaporates into the air.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nStep 1: Emergency Service<\/h2>\n
When ProTech Restoration <\/strong>arrives after the first call, your technician will first provide you with an Authorization of Services form. This is a formal agreement between you and ProTech Restoration<\/strong> that explains the performance of our services in exchange for your payment. After it has been signed, the technicians will begin working immediately to assess the damage of the building materials. All areas will be identified upon the first visit, determining whether they should be dried in place or removed for enhanced drying. Please keep in mind that we will try to restore all materials; however, it may be more cost-effective to have them replaced. When this occurs, we will order a similar unit of the same quality, size, and thickness. For thick carpeting that is able to be restored, it still may need to be removed in order to enhance the drying process.<\/p>\n
In the case that the materials have been contaminated by sewage water, all porous materials, including insulation, carpeting, wood, and drywall will be disposed of immediately. All other hard surfaces will be sanitized and restored after the sewage water has been extracted.<\/p>\n
Examination of the Affected Building Materials<\/h3>\n
When guaranteeing maximum effectiveness and efficiency, additional appointments may be necessary in order to monitor the moisture and temperature levels as well as the drying equipment. You can schedule appointments with the ProTech Restoration <\/strong>office to set up appointments during business hours that accommodate your schedule.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Reinstallation\/Repairs<\/h2>\n
When it is time for the carpet to be reinstalled, the padding may need to be replaced. It will need to be: restretched, attached to the tack strip, repaired at the seam, and the threshold will need to be replaced. In order to prevent the growth of microbials and other bacteria, it will be effectively deodorized and sanitized when dried in place. The drying equipment will then be removed when this is finished.<\/p>\n
