Whether you have water damage from a burst pipe, flooding from a storm, or a leaking appliance, it’s easy to panic. However, it’s important to stay calm and take immediate action to minimize the chance of further damage. It’s also important not to ignore seemingly minor issues. Even a small water leak can quickly morph into a major issue – one that affects your walls, floors, and more.
When it comes to water damage restoration, fast response time isn’t just convenient—it’s critical. Our team offers 24/7 emergency water damage restoration services. A quick call to us can make all the difference.
Time is of the Essence
The first 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs are a big deal. During this time, water can seep deep down into your porous materials, such as upholstery, insulation, drywall, carpeting and furniture. If the area isn’t dried and treated properly, the following can result:
- Wood rot and structural deterioration
- Mold and mildew growth
- Permanent warping or staining
- Unpleasant odors and bacteria buildup
You want a water damage restoration service that will arrive at your Michigan home within just hours of your call – preferably sooner. Fast arrival and thorough evaluation are critical in preventing damage from spreading, saving you money, time, and stress.
A Look at Our Rapid Response Process
Here’s how our fast response makes a difference from the moment you call:
- Immediate Phone Consultation & Dispatch: When you call us, we will start gathering information from you on the situation and put in an order to send out our technicians right away.
- Prompt On-Site Assessment: Once we arrive, we can quickly determine the damage, identify the water source, and come up with a customized approach to mitigate it.
- Immediate Water Extraction and Drying Begins: We start removing standing water and drying out the area right away using powerful state of the art commercial-grade equipment.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments: We continue to monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process to ensure all affected areas have been fully dried and treated.
4 Reasons Why Fast Response is so Critical
Time matters in a water emergency. Here are four reasons why:
- Prevent Mold Growth: Did you know mold can begin to grow within 24–48 hours of water exposure? Once mold is present, it can spread fast, impacting the quality of your indoor air. This can result in respiratory issues, which can be especially concerning for children, the elderly, or allergy and asthma sufferers.
- Reduce Risk of Structural Damage: Water can cause a lot of damage. Not only can it weaken drywall, it can warp wooden beams and floors, and contaminate insulation. Quick action will keep moisture from getting too far into these elements to preserve the structural integrity of your home.
- Protect Belongings: Water can also destroy furniture, rugs, electronics, and personal items. It’s possible to save these items when drying and treatment begin right away.
- Lower Restoration Costs: The longer the water damage goes unchecked, the longer it takes to remedy. In addition, water damage restoration becomes a lot more expensive the longer the issue is ignored. It’s much more affordable to salvage what you can than to rebuild mold-damaged walls or replace sections of flooring.
