Restoration Complexities Untangled
Restoration tasks are critical for successful outcomes but can be unnerving to the homeowner. Our patient and transparent approach to listening to and answering customer questions clarifies a complicated situation:
- Controlled demolition
Already horrific storm damage might look like a gaping wound when our team partially demolishes and removes severely damaged structures. These best-practices restoration tactics and rationale include:
- Flood cuts
Technicians cut from stud to stud, removing several feet of plaster or drywall above the floor. Cuts permit rapid draining of trapped fluids and improved access to wet building cavities for effective applied structural drying. Skilled crews quickly replace the wall sections after water removal and drying, and they are ready for painting and other final touches.
- Deconstruction and hole drilling
To release water, technicians remove cabinet toe kicks and baseboards and drill holes for quick drainage. Hardwood floors might be scored or small holes drilled to accelerate evaporation from the saturated substrate. We set aside the components for rebuilding and refinishing after drying is complete.
- Punctured ceilings
Stormwater often collects on ceilings, damaging the materials and threatening structural collapse and potential personal injury. The crew pokes weep holes overhead, starting at the edges of a room and moving around to meet in the center eventually. This care process prevents a cascade of water, and the holes patch easily.
- Invasion of commercial-grade equipment
- As truck-mounted and portable water extractors roll in, homeowners feel displaced and wonder why such aggressive methods are needed.
- Research proves that rapid water removal is vital to restoration, protecting the integrity of structural elements and avoiding secondary damage such as mold.
- Extraction must be completed, and targeted drying must be well on its way to normalizing moisture levels within 24 to 48 hours.
- Although some water drains independently, more collects in unseen cavities located by professionals using sensitive tools. Innovative extraction techniques, such as focused suction through floor mats and hoses threaded through baseboard holes, swiftly evacuate trapped and hidden water.
