Water damage resulting from flooding , broken water pipes, roof & structural damage, or sewer backups can cause devastating results. There are a lot of ways you can get flooding water into your home or basement - but there is only one best way to get it out – ABCO Carpet Cleaning Systems. Water damage must be promptly addressed to prevent further problems from occurring.
At the first sign of flooding, don't panic; call the experts at ABCO Carpet Cleaning Systems .
ABCOs trained technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and proven techniques to get your carpets and home dry in the quickest possible time. We'll handle the job from start to finish, including final deodorizing and cleanup.
ABCOs personnel have been extensively trained to handle all types of water damage - flood damage . By using high powered air movers and dehumidification, we can get your home or business back to where it was before your flooding struck
Equipment Used in Water Damages
Water Extractor - This is a mechanical device that is used to remove water from a floor surface. Using our extraction equipment, our technician can effectively remove water prior to installing the appropriate drying equipment.
Air Movers / Blowers - Sometimes called "dryers", these are "squirrel cage" blowers secured in a plastic housing and are powered by 1/3 to 3/4 horsepower electric motors.
Their purpose is to circulate air and promote moisture evaporation, thereby assisting in drying both the structure and contents. Since
mold and mildew thrive in stale, non-circulating air, the air movers also serve to inhibit their growth.Air movers circulate the moist air across the fins of the dehumidifiers and, in doing so, speed up the drying process. Most air movers are equipped with housings that allow them to be tilted at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to facilitate the drying of walls and ceilings. The number and placement of air movers is critical to effective drying and our technicians are trained to evaluate the situation to produce an air flow that will ensure maximum efficiency.
Dehumidifiers - dehumidifiers force moist air across desiccant plates (silica gel is a desiccant) which rotate on a carousel. The desiccant plates collect the moisture and the air inside the chamber of the dehumidifier is heated with combusted propane and dried.
The dry air is then forced back into the structure, replacing the moist air and completing the cycle.
The goal in any water
damage restoration project involving the combined use of extraction, air movement, and dehumidification should be to obtain balanced drying. This means that once the water has been extracted, the proper quantities and ratios of dryers to dehumidifiers are installed, thereby eliminating dollars wasted on excess equipment. technicians are trained to find the right balance and get your house or business back to normal.Excessive moisture generating activities will contribute to raise indoor relative humidity above 70% which is ideal for mold growth. Even when exterior water sources are minimized, moisture in the indoor air can build up from poorly vented combustion appliances, showers, cooking, laundry, people breathing in the home, etc. Damp unventilated basements are perfect breeding grounds for mold spores - excess moisture, food supply, and stagnant air. That is why the basement is often musty, malodorous, and uncomfortable.
Mold spores are prevalent in both indoor and outdoor air, and spread easily. Live spores act like seeds, forming new mold growths when they find the right conditions.
As , we work efficiently to identify existing contamination problems, minimize costs and expedite completion of remediation projects. Once a project is started, our crew is dedicated to the job until it is complete. Our goal is to effectively restore the indoor environment with the least possible inconvenience to the customer.
ABCO WILL:
Stop the water entry.
Salvage or protect furnishings or possessions which have not yet gotten wet by moving them to dry areas.Remove standing water -
Use special pumping equipment to extract waterRemove wet carpets, furniture, contents, and boxes of wet stored items.
Store items to be salvaged from the flooded area outside or in a garage, not in upper floors of the flooded building. Otherwise you may accidentally carry mold or other contaminants to other building areas.Remove floor trim and lower portions of walls
(such as drywall or paneling) (at least 12") and any wall insulation, in rooms where the floors were wet or flooded. Porous materials like drywall or plaster which have been wet cannot effectively be cleaned and should be discarded.How Much Drywall to Cut Off After Flooding:
If a floor was wet, even if water did not rise up the walls, we remove no less than the bottom 12" of drywall as well as any floorboard trim. Water on a floor surface enters and wets the wall cavity and often causes a significant but hidden problem mold reservoir in the wall cavity. If mold is visible on a drywall covered wall, we remove drywall to no less than 12" above any visible mold, including inspecting the wall cavity interior for visible mold.Remove upper portions of wall coverings
(drywall or paneling) higher than 12" if these areas are wet, or if water entered the wall cavity from above.Remove ceilings that have been flooded
from above, regardless of material such as plaster, drywall, or ceiling tiles. Suspended ceiling tiles which have been wet should also be discarded, and the remaining suspended ceiling tiles removed to permit inspection and drying as well as to inspect for evidence of water overhead.If mold is already visible
or suspected, use containment to avoid air movement from the damaged (moldy) area to other building areas. Containment generally means negative air and poly plastic barriers are set up and other steps are taken to isolate a moldy or dusty work area from the rest of a building.Surface Cleaning:
after rough demolition to remove wet and porous or visibly moldy materials and other items listed above, all remaining loose dirt and debris is removed, and the remaining exposed surfaces such as wall studs and framing, masonry walls, floors, plywood sheathing, is cleaned to remove all loose and surface debris.Surface Disinfection:
after area flooding it is safe practice to assume that septic or sewage contaminants accompanied the floodwaters, so disinfection of all building surfaces is part of the cleaning process.Use dehumidifiers, fans, heaters, to dry the exposed building areas and surfaces.
Inspect upper building areas and dry or ventilate them.
Depending on weather conditions ventilation may mean simply opening windows or use of fans to dry an area. A building attic over a flooded basement is likely to have an excessive moisture level so that area needs inspection and may need venting too.
Keeping in mind the most common causes of water damage and flooding:
Washing Machine Overflow - Water Heater Leak - Dishwasher Leak or Overflow - Toilet Overflow - Sink Overflow - Humidifier - Ice Maker Leak - Broken Pipes - A/C Leak - Sewage Backups - Rising Flood Water
