Disasters such as fires, burst pipes or water heaters, tropical storms and more can strike unexpectedly. In fact, they often do. Even with advanced warning, it's impossible to fully prepare for the extent of damage these catastrophes can cause.
When faced with damage from such a disaster, the next step is to locate a reputable damage restoration service company to deal with the clean-up.
At ABC Environmental Contracting Services, we strive to make this process as easy as possible by providing friendly, honest, accessible communication and exceptional workmanship.
We offer three primary types of damage restoration services: water, fire and mold. In the following sections, we'll examine each of these restoration services and what they involve.
Water damage restoration services
Water damage is a significant issue affecting many residential and commercial properties nationwide.
Whether faced with a widespread flood or a small leak from a faucet, time is of the essence when it comes to water damage restoration.
That’s because regardless of the scale of the emergency, if left untreated, water can cause significant damage to buildings and their contents and pose a significant health. The longer water damage is left, the more damaging and costly the consequences.
Our water damage restoration services consist of the following:
- Quickly arrive on the scene to assess the situation
- Use our expertise to create a restoration plan
- Remove all standing water using pumps and vacuums
- Dry out all affected areas with fans and dehumidifiers
- Safely remove any materials that cannot be salvaged
- Sanitize all surfaces and prevent mold growth
- Fix any structural damage
- Replace damaged drywall, flooring, carpets etc.
- Restore any salvageable contents
Fire damage restoration services
As a property owner, a fire is, without doubt, the most terrifying disaster that could occur.
The most common causes of house fires are cooking equipment, heating appliances, electrical distribution, smoking materials and open flames, such as candles.
While fires may start small, they can quickly spread, causing widespread and significant damage.
However, it’s important to recognize that it's not just the flames that are problematic; smoke, soot and other toxic gases and residues can be a major issue even after the fire has been put out.
This is our fire damage restoration process:
- Arrive on the scene as quickly as possible
- Ensure the property is structurally sound
- Board up or tarp walls, doors, windows or roof
- Evaluate the damage and type of smoke
- Test for toxic gases and residue
- Create a plan for total restoration
- Remove standing water and dry out the remaining moisture from firefighting efforts
- Remove materials and items that cannot be salvaged
- Remove all smoke and soot traces from surfaces
- Clean and sanitize surfaces and items
- Fix any structural damage
- Restore any salvageable contents
Mold restoration services
Mold can grow in a property due to excess moisture caused by various factors, such as water leaks, high humidity levels and inadequate ventilation.
Mold spores are easily spread through the air and, if not addressed promptly, can lead to health problems such as allergies, respiratory issues and skin irritation. In the long term, it can even cause structural damage.
Mold spreads quickly. In a water-damaged property, colonies can form within 24 to 48 hours. That’s why it’s important to deal with it immediately.
This is how we carry out mold remediation:
- Inspect the mold and carry out testing
- Contain the mold-affected areas to prevent spreading
- Filter and clean the air with heavy-duty HEPA filtration systems
- Treat the colonies with anti-fungal and antimicrobial treatments
- Remove all non-salvageable materials (most commonly drywall, carpeting and soft furnishings)
- Clean and sanitize any affected items that can be salvaged
- Fix any structural damage
- Replace damaged drywall and other materials
