Floods in Colorado Springs, CO, are unfortunately common. If a flood has occurred in your home, you need to take immediate action to minimize damage and start the restoration.

Expert flood damage restoration & cleanup services can help you address the effects of a flood and prevent further damage. Here’s how professionals can help:

Assessment

Professionals will inspect the flood-damaged property and provide an assessment of the damage and a detailed restoration plan. This includes evaluating the affected materials and contents for residential and commercial buildings.

Water Extraction

The first step in water damage restoration is to extract all standing water using pumps or vacuums to remove it from the property quickly and efficiently. An expert water damage restoration service will use powerful equipment to extract the water from walls, flooring, and other areas of your home or business that may have been affected. This is essential as it helps prevent further damage due to water saturation and mold growth.

Dehumidification

Once all standing water has been removed, experts may need to use dehumidifiers and fans to reduce moisture levels in the air and on surfaces within the property. Dehumidifiers work by absorbing excess moisture from the air and can also help minimize mold growth. Fans circulate air and ensure that all surfaces and areas of the property have been dried thoroughly.

Sanitization

Once standing water has been removed, all affected areas must be cleaned with antimicrobial solutions to eliminate potential health hazards from mold growth or other contaminants due to flooding.

Prevention

A water damage prevention method includes:

  • Waterproofing of walls, floors, and ceilings
  • Sealing any existing structural holes or cracks that may have caused the water damage
  • Installing a sump pump to prevent future flooding
  • Installing gutters, downspouts, and other drainage systems to divert rainwater away from your home
