Can fast water damage restoration save you a fortune? Yes, it can.

If you’ve ever been in a place which has received serious water damage, that question might seem unnecessary. If you haven’t, you may need to know a few basic facts:

• Water saturation can literally destroy a building.

• Water penetration can make any premises completely unsafe and unhygienic.

• Water penetration anywhere near electrical systems can be a primary cause of fire.

• Molds are a secondary hazard, creating potential health risks and destroying timbers.

For the average size home, that’s a list of potential disasters, financial and physical. Repairing water damage needs to be done quickly and thoroughly, or you get cumulative problems.

Hi, we’re Able Restorations, a water damage restoration service based in Southern California. Sorry for the alarming information, but take it from us, after 50 years on the job, we’re not guessing. You would have to see some of the damage that water can cause before you would believe it.

If your home is affected by water damage, we have a few tips for you:

• The sooner you get started on restoration, the better. A thorough cleanup is necessary, and you need to protect your premises from further damage.

• Do not attempt to do water damage restoration work yourself. It can be very dangerous work, and the standard of restoration work needs to be very high. You also need experts to assess the water penetration problems and locate residual water or saturated areas inside the building.

• Protect your belongings and possessions and remove them from water damaged areas ASAP. Some of your priceless stuff can be destroyed by the molds which typically appear after major water damage.

• Do not allow any person with respiratory ailment problems anywhere near mold-infested areas. (These molds are bad enough for healthy people. For people with asthma or allergies, they are potentially dangerous.)
• Please be aware that you will need to have your site inspected and thoroughly assessed. To give an example, much of our water damage service work is focused on things like plumbing repairs, sanitary clean ups, pipe re-routing, and similar works required as a result of water damage.
