Flood, plumbing leaks, storm, broken hose, broken fire sprinkler, leaking pipe, backed up sewer etc., can fill your house with unwanted water. They can cause serious damage to your home, furniture and more.
How water can damage your house?
  • Flood or leaking pipes can cause your appliances to rust due to the extra moisture.
  • It also encourages the growth of bacteria in your house, which can lead to various diseases or infections.
  • Water also increases the growth of mold, which can cause serious health issues for people. Mold can cause allergies such as cough, headaches, rashes and more.

It is necessary to get immediate help from professionals to minimize the damage to structure and belongings. Many companies provide commercial property maintenance services in Staten Island or other cities. You can hire these companies to restore your home to its previous state.

How professionals restore your home?
  • These professionals start their work with finding the source of leakage and stopping flow (in case of leaking pipes). After finding the source, they clean up the water from building. They use various types of equipment such as pumps to remove the excess rain, flood or leaked water.
  • They also secure your belongings (carpets, furniture, appliances etc.) from the affected area. They also try to restore these belongings, if possible.
  • Once excess moisture is removed from building, these professionals start drying. They use various vacuum tools to dry every corner of the affected area including walls and floor. They make sure that your home is dried completely.
  • These experts also clean your home thoroughly to remove stains, mold and bacteria. Many companies also sanitize the affected area to prevent the threat of infections due to microorganisms. They also remove odor from building caused by flood or leaked water.
