Did You Receive the Restoration Services You Needed?

If you’re wondering whether or not the restoration service provider you hired did the job they were supposed to do, there are a couple of tell-tale signs that will indicate whether or not the job was done thoroughly.

Is All the Standing Water Gone?

The first step your restoration crew should take is to remove all of the standing water from your home. If you have had a burst pipe or other leak, this may also entail repairing whatever is causing the damage in the first place. Removing all of the water and repairing pipes can take up to several days, depending on the extent of the damage. At any time, you should feel comfortable asking questions of your restoration crew, and they should gladly keep you informed of their progress.

Has Your Home Been Properly Sanitized?

While there are often many things that can’t be saved, such as carpet or boxes stored in a basement that was completely flooded, what does remain should be cleaned and sanitized. Any mold that has developed should be removed. Flood water and standing water can carry microorganisms that can make you ill, so this is a critical step.

A professional water damage restoration expert will have the equipment, training and certification you need to ensure that your basement is pumped out safely, and that your personal items are protected and restored. Contact us for an estimate or more information about how we can help you.
