Water Restoration
Almost all home and business disasters include water damage, sometimes as the result of putting out a fire. Storm flooding often results in water issues due to the storm weather patterns which seem to be becoming more frequent and unpredictable. A leaking roof, window frame or damaged wall can all be the cause of a serious leak.
Apart from rain, plumbing fixtures and pipes are another common cause of water entering a property, whether via a frozen and burst pipe, ruptured hose, corroded fixture, broken main water line or blocked drain or sewer. Most homes have a network of pressurized water lines running between walls connecting bathrooms and kitchen. Any of these can result in a flood. Not to mention everyday items such as a bathtub overflow, water heater leak, toilet overflow, hot tub leak or washer supply line burst.

Flooded Basement
If you arrive home after work and find that precious items are floating in the basement, they you need our flooded basement service. Quick action is needed stop to turn off water and power, before pumping water out of the basement. The quicker standing water gets a cleanup and damage repair, the less long-term damage will happen due to subsequent mold growth.

Mold Remediation and Removal
Once water has entered a home or business premises, it becomes standing water. Standing water inevitably leads to mold growth within 48 hours, and so fast action is needed.

The longer water sits, the more that mold can take hold. Professional mold removal requires extensive training and safety equipment, which we provide in our daily work. Once mold has a hold, damaged material may have to be removed if the application of antibacterial agents does not kill the mold growth. Mold can develop without the property owner being aware of the hidden mold growth. Often mold is unseen as it may grow in hidden areas such as the inside of soaked drywall. Call Restoration Aces to make sure you will be living in a safe environment.

How much does water damage repair cost ?

When it comes to estimating the cost of water mitigation there are a wide range of factors to work out.

Costs can vary from a thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars depending what is damaged and how big an area is affected.

The cost of repairs depend on how much water has entered the property, and especially how long it been present, as delays add to secondary damage such as mold growth.

What type of water damage is covered by homeowners insurance?

Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and unexpected water damage from accidents such as burst pipes or a water heater rupturing. Some insurance contracts include a loss mitigation clause that require homeowners to take action to protect and secure the property from further damage. As far as coverage, often damage due to a sewage backup or long-standing lack of maintenance issues such as a leaking faucet may not be covered. Your policy may cover the cost of fixing or replacing a damaged floor, but will won’t cover the cost of replacing a broken washing machine or dishwasher. Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners policies, but by a separate flood policy.

How do you repair water damaged ceilings and Floors?

In cases where a ceiling has been flooded, usually sheet rock absorbs water fast. Heavily water-soaked wallboard will sag from ceilings or just crumble if touched, and the best solution is to remove affected panels and fix by replacement. Flooring can often be saved, often hardwood floors can be dried out with specialized drying equipment, but laminated panels may need to be replaced if the glue has separated the fibers.

How can I prevent water damage from happening?

Regular maintenance and occasional checks can often prevent water damage in the first place. In particular check appliance hoses and faucets, seals around showers and tubs, check for leaking pipe joints, caulk and seal windows. Keep an eye on your monthly water bill – an unexpected jump could indicate a hidden leak. In your normal household routine watch for black spots of mold or small signs like coffee-colored stains that may indicate water penetration.
