In Michigan Restoration Services Brought Help For Flooded Homeowners

By Jon Samuelson


When a flood occurred the basements of homes were subject to damage. Some homeowners had luxurious recreation rooms with plush carpeting and electronic equipment. The water damage Rochester Hills property owners had experienced required professional restoration services.

Flooding can damage a house in many ways, whether in the basement recreation room or as high as the first floor. The storm conditions may cause a nearby river to overflow its banks. What not all homeowners know is that not all flooding situations are covered by their insurance policy.

Aside from inclement weather, damage can be caused by other things. One is a broken water line, a wash machine that is dysfunctional or a sump pump that is not working properly. A minor leak may only show up as spots on a wall. They can grow larger if there is flooding in the wall.

The residential damage may be caused by a failing sump pump, a broken wash machine or a leaking pipe. This kind does not always show up immediately. First you may see spots. Later on, it may damage property stored against the wall.

Three types of flooding can ruin a house. There is clean that is the result of a broken pipe to a bathroom or kitchen sink. This kind does not present a health hazard if fixed in a timely fashion.

If the situation involves the gray type it will contain contaminants such as chemicals or biological organisms. This happens if a toilet leaks and there is urine in the leak. It can come from a defective sump pump.

Black is the worst and filthiest. It is totally unsanitary and can damage people as well as things. Illness can result from the bacteria and fungi in this type of flood. It may require medical attention for the homeowner.

Black is the most damaging. It is gross, unsanitary and can harm people as well as things. The bacteria and fungi it contains can cause severe discomfort and illness. There are general rules as to what property can be salvaged and what must be disposed of. If a carpet is soaked with the clean type and if it has only been soaked for less than two days, it is salvageable. Of course, anything that comes into contact with the black type must be thrown out.

The presence of raw sewage is a definite hazard to anyone living in the house. It may require more work than an inexperienced person can provide. Calling in a professional Fire and Water Restoration company is the best way to handle the clean-up.

If minor discolorations appear on the interior walls, the owner might not consider that a problem. However, these small spots can grow larger and indicate water is collecting behind a wall. If mold is developing inside the wall it is a serious problem.

If there is any mold, it must be removed as soon as possible. Experts can be invaluable in assessing the extent of the mold and giving advice on how to get rid of it. Your homeowners insurance should be responsible for the cost of any necessary work.
