Why You Should Call a Licensed Water Damage Remediation Company

5/20/2020 (Permalink)

Our team at the Beaches holds weekly training sessions to make sure we are up to date on all restoration techniques.

A water damage restoration service professional is someone that no one wants to call, but when they are needed, it is important not to delay.

Homeowners know that moisture is the enemy, capable of penetrating into just about any space -including under walls and baseboards, and taking advantage of every little crack and structural problem. No matter how moisture gets into a building, the response should be the same. Bring in a certified firm immediately to extract, dry, and clean the structure to ensure that there are no lingering health threats, or chances for microbial growth once the moisture is gone.

If water has entered the structure through a contaminated source, it is important not to handle it on your own. 

Floods and sewage backups contain multiple types of deadly bacteria, and viruses and fungi. Even momentary skin contact can have serious effects and health risks, causing serious illness. A certified water damage restoration service not only has the tools to eliminate the moisture, but they also have the necessary protective equipment to remain free from harm.

Restoration technicians have a lot of technology at their disposal. 

This includes powerful truck mounted vacuums and pumping systems, high velocity air movers, dehumidifiers, heat injectors, moisture reading equipment, and a number of cleaning products formulated to destroy fungi and other microbial threats. While the technicians work on the structure, disposing of compromised materials, and drying the rest, they will also destroy all mold and microbial colonies. This is the only way to ensure a structure to be safe to live and work in after a water damage has occurred. Any other cleaning method is a dangerous gamble.

The professional technicians with SERVPRO of Jacksonville Beach/Ponte Vedra have the latest IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification)s and the most up to date equipment and technology.
