Water Mitigation Damage Restore
Water mitigation should be handled quickly and in a smart way as well. Don’t let the water sit there for days without deciding what to do because you may have a chance to see what you have there. Water that gets behind baseboards, moldings, linoleum, carpets and wood floors should all be addressed rather quickly. At least while deciding what to do and to at least start the process, try and get fans and dehumidifiers going in the building. If you have deep water, consult an expert right away. If it smells bad like sewage or mold, consult a professional right away.
Having a wet or damp basement isn’t good in the short or long term. It can make you sick and should be addressed immediately with a professional.
If you have any water mitigation damage restore issues, call Ken’s Sewer Service and we can guide you in the right direction from the start.
Categories of Water Damage
Assessing the severity of the damage is important for determining what is needed to start water damage repair and water removal.
Category 1 = clean water, or water that does not pose a threat to humans. Possible causes of this type of damage include broken appliances or sink overflows.
Category 2 = gray water. This means that the water is contaminated and may cause sickness of ingested. This type of water contains microorganisms. Broken toilets, broken sump pumps, and seepage may cause category 2 water damage.
Category 3 = black water. This type of water is unsanitary, as it contains bacteria and other organisms that cause sickness. The possible sources of black water damage include sewage problems and contamination of standing water.
Antimicrobials? Why You May Need A Restoration Service
Whether you’re a self-diagnosed germaphobe or not, this topic is kinda gross and experiencing an unfortunate situation like below can be even grosser. Not only is a major sewer line back-up a head-ache to deal with while it’s happening, the after affects and clean-up could also be risky to your health and safety. I hope this gives a bit more insight into what you may actually be dealing with and that there are services and products to help restore your contaminated water damaged areas.
An antimicrobial agent is designed to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms and especially pathogenic microorganisms. Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, protozoans and fungi such as mold and mildew. There are three types of public health antimicrobials: Sanitizers, Disinfectants and Sterilizers.
When a main sewer line, toilets and bathtubs back-up, they can leave a small or large amount of sewage or blackwater on your surfaces. Blackwater is the most dangerous type of contaminated water and may contain any of these microorganisms. In any of these situations, we always recommend that our clientele contact a restoration service. A restoration service will assess your situation and damage, and will offer a specific mitigation plan based on the severity of damage. This could include, but not limited to, water extraction, drying, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing. If necessary, some companies offer antimicrobial applications, which are possible to apply to a variety of surfaces, including unfinished concrete basement floors.
If you experience a back-up on any of your exposed surfaces that you can come into contact with, it’s always a good idea to reach out to a restoration company for their expertise in mitigating these microorganisms. It’s possible you may have a contaminated surface that you don’t realize, and as you walk on it and move around the house, it’s being tracked along with your steps and/or in the air when microorganisms are disturbed. These microorganisms are not always visible by the naked eye, so use a professional to assess ‘the mess’.
