Water Damage Restoration Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake property owners will find that several things can cause water damage, making it hard to completely prevent it from occurring.

However, the most common causes of water damage include:

• Faulty appliances (i.e., dishwashers, washing machines)
• Plumbing issues (i.e., broken pipes and faucets, sewage backups, and toilet overflows)
• A deteriorating foundation or structural damage
• Roof leaks
• HVAC malfunctions
• Natural disasters
• Drainage issues on your property

No matter the source of your water-related damage, we will help restore your property to pre-loss condition and ensure a thorough cleaning and restoration to restore your life to normal.

Once water penetrates your walls, your drywall begins to deteriorate. Eventually, mold colonies begin to form and feed on your drywall and anything else. If the water damage affects your home's structure, it can result in wood rot.

When mold forms, it causes a strong, musty smell. It also creates mold spores, which begin infecting other areas and your possessions, like clothing and furniture. Once mold has taken hold in your drywall, you need to replace it immediately once you've addressed the source of the water damage. Chesapeake residents will also likely need mold remediation services to remove the mold and ensure that it's eliminated completely.

If your home's electrical system is exposed to water, the internal components can become vulnerable to corrosion and even mold growth. This is especially common if your home has low-quality or poorly maintained wiring. It's recommended that you have an inspection performed annually on your home's electrical and water supply systems or following an event that results in you needing Chesapeake water damage restoration services.

Unfortunately, wood loves to absorb water, making fixing water-damaged wooden floors difficult. Depending on how severe the water damage is, there are options available to either repair or restore it. That will be determined by advanced moisture meters, which will tell us how severe the water absorption is. All that being said, it's still recommended that you replace any wooden floors that have been damaged by water as part of your water damage cleanup. Chesapeake homeowners will find that this is often the best way to restore their hardwood floors.

Chesapeake residents will find it essential to take immediate action in response to water damage emergencies. The professionals at Rainbow Restoration are always prepared to respond quickly when you need flood and water damage cleanup.

Chesapeake restoration times can be impacted by a number of things, such as the extent of the damage, the type of water involved, the size of the impacted area, and the materials impacted. They can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete. To provide a more accurate time estimate, we will need to assess the damage in person.

Generally, however, the initial water removal and drying process can take between 24 and 72 hours. Once that is done, the cleaning and sanitizing steps can each take several days to complete, with the repairs and reconstruction taking the majority of the time needed to complete your water damage restoration. Chesapeake professionals will work diligently and carefully to ensure your property is adequately restored and prevent further damage following your restoration service.

Chesapeake residents whose homes are experiencing minor damage may be able to stay in them during the restoration process. However, due to the work and serious health risks involved, for more extensive water damage cleanups, Chesapeake homeowners will need to leave the property for their safety and to ensure a proper cleanup.
