Floors experience water damage from broken pipes, leaking appliances, outdoor water, and overflowing bathtubs and sinks. Minneapolis homeowners may not realize how quickly water can seriously damage their floors and may not take action soon enough to stop expensive damage from happening. Every homeowner should understand that immediate water damage cleanup from a professional water damage restoration company like 24 Restore can stop the need to replace the flooring altogether.
If the flooring of a commercial or residential property is suffering from water damage, professional water restoration crews will have to assess the damage to determine if the flooring can be restored or if it will need to be replaced. Immediately after arriving, the water damage cleanup crew will determine the extent of the damage. If the water has not been sitting for too long, the time might recommend industrial drying and dehumidifying if water does not need to first be extracted. The team will check for mold and damage to any subflooring, walls, any part of the home’s structure, and further damage that could be associated with the specific type of water disaster.
It isn’t likely that a water restoration company will be able to gauge how long the restoration process will take until after the damage is assessed. All water disasters are different and can cause different extents of damage. The time it takes to fix your property depends on how severe the water damage is. Think of it as one process (drying) that has to be completed before you know the extent of the second process (repairs.)
Drying is more complicated than just opening the windows and turning on the ceiling fan. The professionals at 24Restore will place industrial fans, air blowers, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers to quickly and efficiently remove all excess moisture. Only then can they accurately estimate the time frame for your project.
There are other factors that can affect how long the process will take to complete. The total time of exposure to water can affect the expected restoration time. For example, vinyl floors are quicker to replace than water-damaged hardwood. Water-damaged walls might peel and could require painting, repairing sections, or replacement completely. An inch of water that’s been standing in a basement for several days will probably have extensive mold and require several more days to remove.
In addition to the total amount of time underwater, the type of water affecting the property is another factor that will affect the timeline.
After water damage in your Minneapolis home, your major concern is whether the team can safely clean the floors instead of replacing them. As the team is drying the home, clues will determine whether floor covering materials can be safely cleaned for reuse. Construction integrity, porosity of flooring materials, and potential health effects from contaminants must be considered. Throughout the restoration process, the team will be looking for any secondary damage to other structural components that may require drying, or demolition and replacement.
