Water Damage Restoration

While some sources of water damage can be cleaned up yourself, it’s safer to hire a professional. Not only can a professional restoration company clean up all the water safely, they’ll also make sure to restore your home and prevent mold growth.

Maybe.

It depends on what caused the damage. Usually water damage caused by overflowing rivers and lakes won’t be covered. If it was caused by burst pipes or a damaged roof, then your insurance company should pay for water extraction and all other aspects of the recovery.

Drying times vary depending on the area and types of material damage. Usually, however, we are able to finish the drying process within 3 to 5 days. In every case, we will work quickly to get the area thoroughly dried and dehumidified as quickly as possible.

Give us a call! At Rapid Restoration DKI, we understand the urgency of water damage situations, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency services and a fast response time. As soon as we arrive, our highly trained crew members will begin the water damage mitigation process. If the flooding has affected your air ducts or damaged them in any way, we will be able to provide you with cleaning and repair services specifically for that issue.

Many of the effects of water damage are obvious. If your home has been damaged by water, you’ll often find:

• Mold growth
• A musty, moldy smell
• Dark spots on walls
• Warped walls and floors
• Damage to furniture
• Peeled paint

Mold thrives in moisture and can start growing in as little as 24-48 hours. Mold can also grow in porous surfaces, including walls, carpets, and the ceiling if your property isn’t dried properly. When you hire a restoration company, you can be sure that your home won’t be at risk once the damage is fixed. If you do find mold in your home after a water emergency, we can clean that up, too!

It depends.

The source of the water and how bad the damage was can determine whether or not the carpet can be saved. If the water came from a sewage source or some other toxic source, it is best to replace the carpet. If the water was safe, it is possible to just dry and deodorize your carpet without replacing it.

Great question!

Your insurance company is responsible for covering the cost to restore your property to pre-loss condition, however, now could be a good time to make any upgrades or changes.

No.
