WATER RESTORATION DO’S/ DONT’S & FACTS/ MYTHS

Myth: Calling the Insurance Company First

It is better to notify the water damage clean-up company at the first sight of the problem to begin the recovery process first. Afterwards you should contact your insurance company. Some water damage emergency companies provide 24/7 service so no matter when the problem is found (Univera Construction LLC). The longer you prolong contacting a water restoration company, it raises the likelihood of increasing damages to your property.

Myth: The Water Will Dry Itself

Any amount of standing water in your building or home can perpetuate mold growth. Seeking professional water restoration services could prevent microbial growth  from growing, which can begin earlier than 48 hours after the flood or a leak has happened.

Myth: All Home Insurance Cover Flooding and Mold Remediation

Some insurance providers do not offer water damage insurance coverage. You should find out if they do not support water damage insurance claims. It would be wise to purchase separate flood insurance.

Myth: Basement Damage Isn’t Covered by Insurance

Most flood insurance plans provide limited coverage for basement damage, you should make sure your plan also covers electrical damage  as well.

Fact: Home Owners Can Clean Water Damage Themselves

This is a fact. It depends what result you ultimately want though. Even ambitious do-it-yourself home owners can miss the moisture that seeps into cracks and cause serious structural damage. Professional water damage recovery services can thoroughly investigate and test the affected areas and find out how serious the damage is. They can then provide tested and proven solutions that you most likely will not be able to handle on your own.

Fact: Renting the Equipment Can Save Money

You may be able to rent equipment to remedy the situation at a reasonable price, but some water damage recovery equipment is difficult to operate if you are inexperienced with it. Professionals are not only trained on how to use these tools, they also have access to high-end equipment and cleaning tools. It might not seem like much if you look at your basement flood, but a restoration team will be able to see the extent of damage that is unseen from a first glance.
