A leaking roof often shows water stains or discoloration on ceilings and walls, with possible sagging or peeling paint. A busted pipe may cause visible damp spots, water pooling, or dripping from walls or ceilings. In addition, it is very important to understand whether it is clean or dirty water before the restoration process begins.
To effectively address water damage, it’s crucial to follow the water trail. This helps pinpoint all affected areas, from floors to structural components, ensuring a thorough assessment and preventing further damage to your property.
Effective drying is more than just using fans. It’s about understanding the laws of physics—circulating air while controlling temperature and humidity to promote faster evaporation. Specialized equipment like dehumidifiers, air movers, and heat drying systems work together to accelerate the process.
