Water is one of the most essential elements that we need for survival. It’s also a force to be reckoned with. Even as necessary as water is, it can cause a lot of destruction. It is powerful enough to cause mudslides, and drag away a vehicle in less than a foot of water. It can also damage building materials and cause the structural integrity of your home to decline rapidly. If you have Flood Damage in Brooklyn, it’s important that you act quickly to remove the water and restore your property.
Water can destroy your home faster than you can blink an eye. It can cause your home’s wood to rot, your drywall to disintegrate and your wooden flooring to swell. Additionally, flooded homes are susceptible to the growth of toxic mold. Once mold has started growing in your home, it can be difficult to get rid of. And, even worse, toxic mold can cause respiratory distress, asthma flare-ups, and allergic skin reactions. It can also be the source of persistent headaches, nausea and vomiting. In addition to restoring your home from Flood Damage in Brookly, you then are faced with the need of mold remediation. As you can imagine, the costs can lead you down a rapidly declining spiral in regards to your financial situation.
Maspeth Environmental Corp is a company that provide flood damage restoration services, which often includes mold remediation services. The first thing they will do is remove all standing water in your home by using several sump pumps and hoses to draw the water outside and away from your home. In some cases, they will draw the water into a tanker truck, which is typically done in urban areas. After they’ve extracted as much of the water as possible with pumps, they will use wet-vacuums to pull up even more water. Then, they will place dehumidifiers throughout your home. This very well could be the longest part of the entire process. Dehumidifiers often take at least three days to do the job.
Once as much water and moisture as possible has been removed, the contractor will then assess the damages, and make repairs to your home’s structure and building materials as necessary to bring it back to pre-flood condition.
