Common Causes of Water Damage
- Floods
- HVAC
- Burst Pipes and Faulty Plumbing Systems
- Broken or damaged Sprinkler Systems
- Basement/Crawl Space Moisture
- Sewage Backup
- Accidents
Unchecked water damage causes additional expenses for home and business property owners in the long run. Moisture and humidity promote structural damage, wood rot, peeling paint, and mold.
But the issues with your facility’s infrastructure and contents are secondary to the health and safety issues that accompany indoor flooding.
Your Health & Well-Being Comes First
Floodwater is highly unsanitary. Mold begins to develop within 24-48 hours after water damage occurs. Mold spores affect indoor air quality and release toxins, which can cause additional health issues such as allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory illnesses.
Water Damage Repair
People Often Ask Us:
Do water damage restoration companies repair plumbing and broken water heaters?
Worst case scenario, you would have to pay a plumber to stop the source of the leak before a restoration company comes in to address the water damage it caused. If you choose Showcase Restoration to manage Cause of Loss repairs, it is highly likely you will only owe insurance deductable.
How Much Does A Water Damage Estimate Cost?
Our estimate fees for water damage start at $150. If you choose to hire us as your restoration contractor that cost will be rolled over into what you would have had to pay out of pocket for deductible on your insurance claim. Some advertisers call that a “free estimate” – we don’t. If your situation includes mold, our estimate fee will necessarily be higher due to the testing that will be required in diagnostics.
How long will it take for my property to dry after flooding or water damage?
Our experience is it typically takes between three and five days or more to dry, depending on the conditions and the amount of damage. Drying time is determined by multiple factors, including location, duration and source of water; the types of building materials in your home; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency restoration services are started. Our technicians will monitor and evaluate during the process and will determine when drying is complete.
Will turning up the heat help things dry more quickly?
Will turning up the heat help dry things out?
Sometimes, but not always. Our trained technicians will set the temperature to the correct setting for proper drying. No one other than the water mitigation team should change the setting on the HVAC system because it could make the trying process take longer than necessary.
During the water mitigation process, do my personal belongings need to be removed?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the scope of work required. Many times, your belongings can be moved to other areas of your building, and if so we will securely cover and protect them. For larger restoration jobs, our contents restoration team will remove the contents to our secure, climate controlled facility. A full inventory will be taken, and your contents will be returned once the restoration process is complete.
How do I know my property is completely dry?
Our Water mitigation team uses professional testing with specialized equipment to determine if your property and contents are completely dry. Touch alone may be a false indicator.
