Water damage is a term used for describing different types of damage that may have occurred due to any reason leading to flooding or mold. The damage may be caused due to seepage of water into structures; a burst pipe or a faulty plumbing line; an overflowing bathtub; a broken down water heater; or just a simple lack of maintenance. Water damage typically refers to various potential losses resulting from water flowing where it may cause an attack of a biological or chemical substance or detrimental processes like rotting of wood, the growth of mold, bacteria growth, et al. The term can also refer to any physical loss that is the outcome of water permeating through porous material.
There are several types of methods by which water damage restoration can be undertaken. Dry carpet cleaning and mildew removal, both done in-house by a certified technician, can be quite effective in removing the mildew. If the affected area has not been totally saturated with water, a good technique would be to dab the wet area with a dry cloth to remove any traces of moisture. This method requires at least one day in order to allow the area to dry before moving on to the next step. Water that has flooded into a dry space may take some time to evaporate therefore it is necessary to wait at least 72 hours before beginning the next phase of the repair process.
