Expert water damage cleanup in Barnstable

Professional water damage cleanup for your flooded basement

A basement is a section located at your home's foundation. You might not live in a basement, but it's essential to check water damage caused by molten snow or leakages regularly. A flooded basement is usually caused by rainwater absorbed in the soil and stored in your basement. When it rains continuously, your basement gets flooded without giving any sign. Another reason is the failure of the sump pump, leading to basement flooding. That's when you need a professional water damage cleanup service. Our network partners do the flooded basement cleanup according to the situation. Most of the time, a flooded basement is risky to enter. But fortunately, they have the equipment to check whether the floodwater contains an electrical charge to avoid electrocution. That way, they keep you and your households safe during basement water damage cleanup.

Flood damage cleanup for your residence

Rain and hail storms are beautiful until they fill your basement with floodwater. The rainwater you see getting absorbed by the soil affects your basement indirectly. First, the absorbed water travels through the ground, reaching your house's foundation. After that, it goes to the basement's external boundary wall and penetrates the porous bricks, creating leakage. In extreme winters, snow tends to pile up in your abode's surroundings. If you don't regularly clean the area, the snow residue melts, and the water enters your house from tiny openings. Another common problem people face in harsh winters is frozen pipelines. Unlike other liquids, water expands by almost 9% after 4 degrees celsius when it's further cooled. Because of that expansion, pipelines burst, flooding houses in winter. Call us now if you need a water damage cleanup service. Our network partners will inspect your house and take steps to fix the problem.

Tools that are used for proper cleaning of water

Professional water damage cleanup needs specific tools. Without them, you can't efficiently clean every trace of floodwater. Furthermore, even if you clean water, the area will remain affected because of the moisture absorbed inside the walls and flooring. At Barnstable County Remediation Specialists, our network uses the proper tools to clean water damage. Here are some common ones:

• High-Pressure Vacuuming System
• Wet Vacuums
• Anti-Mold Chemicals
• Sanitizing Kits
• Manual Sponges and Swabs

Carpet water damage in your home

Carpets are standard in every house, giving households decor and warmth. However, their maintenance varies with their shapes, sizes, and designs. If you also have laid a carpet, you must know how difficult it is to wash and dry them after carpet water damage. Carpets become two or three times heavier than their actual weight after absorbing water. In that case, you must never deal with a water-damaged carpet alone as it can cause injuries. Our carpet water damage team arrives at your home and checks the carpet's situation. Afterward, they will inform you whether the carpet will be cleaned or replaced.

Residential water damage cleanup

Floodwater damage can create havoc in your home, especially in the basement. You already know water makes its way from higher to lower concentration. Due to this nature, your basement is at high risk of flooding. A flooded basement leads to other significant problems, like weakening the home's foundation, proliferating toxic gasses, and spreading germs and viruses. The last two issues remain the same when flood water enters your house's rooms. Dealing with water damage alone is not recommended. Going the DIY route and using the water damage cleanup equipment alone, might lead to irreversible damage, including high water damage repair costs.
