Water damage is one of the most common issues in homes and buildings because it is tough to keep excess water and moisture out. Rain and flooding can cause water to seep inside and certain problems including pipe bursts, leaking appliances, overflows, and sewage backups can lead to indoor water damage at any time. The reason excess water is so damaging is because it is absorbed into porous building materials where it can cause serious damage and trigger mold growth.
RestorationMaster provides water damage restoration and cleanup services to remove excess water from homes and businesses in Grand Island, NE. Our technicians use advanced water extraction and drying equipment to ensure that all excess moisture is removed from the affected materials.
Water Restoration
Most materials and furnishings within a home or building are porous which is what makes excess water a threat to cause damage. Building materials like woodwork, drywall, flooring, and furnishings absorb water, causing it to penetrate deeper into the building and affect a larger area. These materials become structurally weak as they absorb more water, leaving them vulnerable to serious damage that can threaten the structural integrity of the home or building.
Mold is also a major concern in cases of water damage because excess moisture is the main cause of indoor mold growth. The appearance of mold can not only increase property damage, but also lead to serious health effects.
Licensed and Experienced
At RestorationMaster, our IICRC-certified technicians will immediately contain the excess water and use our advanced water extraction and drying equipment to remove it from affected furnishings and building materials.
Once we have removed standing water, we place our dehumidifiers and drying equipment throughout the home or building to thoroughly dry affected materials and objects. This prevents serious damage to the affected materials as well as mold growth by removing all excess moisture.
