Water Destruction In A Town In Michigan Requires Experienced Help

By Aaron Peters


The water in an ocean, lake or stream is a beautiful sight. Two feet of raw sewage in a basement is disgusting. It presents a definite health hazard to the family living in the home. After a flood causes water damage in Royal Oak Michigan, Michigan restoration company has professionals to perform the clean up.

The first thing they will do is visit the home to assess the damage. They will give an estimate of how much it may cost to do the clean-up work. It is difficult to know an exact amount, however, until the work is started.

This is a job that may take a long time to finish. Attention must be paid to the smallest details so there will be no contaminants left in the basement. There are no laws to follow when doing the job. But, there are high standards that are required to do a full clean up.

There is a guide that dictates a specific set of standards for this type of work. Each job has different and possibly specialized requirements. State and local laws may apply in many cases.

Everything that is destroyed or damaged must be documented before starting. This will be needed by the insurance company that covers the homeowners property. These inspections are done through the use of infrared tools and probes. These tools insure an accurate assessment.

There is a drying out process that takes days and sometimes longer. Next all debris is removed. They bring in equipment such as scrubbers, air movers and dehumidifiers to do the drying. Sub floor drying must be done also.

These tools are left in the basement after the drying is done. After a final inspection to assure that everything is dry, they are taken out. Then the workers begin the sanitizing procedures.

The contents that were salvageable, if any, will need to be treated. Sterilization, sanitization and deodorizing are standard procedures. There may be other renovations needed.

Sometimes things can be replaced cheaper than they can be restored. The homeowner will want to get advice about that. All questions should be answered to keep him informed about what to replace and what to save.

The professionals will return every day to monitor the progress during the drying out period. They measure the level of humidity and temperature to measure the progress. It can take longer than expected in some cases.

Some individuals try to do the work on their own. It is not something the inexperienced person is capable. Contaminants not removed completely may harm the family at some later time.

He may be doing the restorative work in an attempt to save money. Hopefully, he is adequately insured against flooding damage. If doing the work on his own makes him ill, he may spend more on medical bills than he would have by hiring the professional restorers.

The average homeowners insurance may not cover flooding under some circumstances. It depends on the reason for the flood. Asking about extra flooding coverage should be done when taking out any insurance on the home and property.
