Water Damage Related Info
When water damage or major flood occurs, it won’t be long until it seeps deep within the building structure. This can happen as a result of rain, burst pipes, and even humidity. For porous materials, this will happen quickly, including drywall, wood, paint. When this occurs, action must be taken quickly to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. RestorationMaster provides water damage restoration and flood cleanup services in Staten Island, NY to extract all water from the home or building. We guarantee to arrive within 1 to 2 hours of your initial call to prevent the damage from spreading any further.
As water damage will spread quickly, porous materials will quickly sustain the majority of the damage, soaking in the water like a sponge. However, the technicians at RestorationMaster use advanced drying equipment and products to have all of your property effectively dried and cleaned efficiently. We can also provide content cleaning services if your personal belongings and furnishings have also been damaged.
