Water damage can cause significant harm to your walls, floors, and ceilings, and it is essential to take the necessary steps to clean and restore them as quickly as possible. At Reztor Restoration, we understand the importance of proper water damage cleanup and are dedicated to helping our clients restore their homes or businesses to their former condition.
When cleaning and restoring water-damaged walls, it’s essential to remove any wet materials that can’t be dried out, such as wet insulation, drywall, or wallpaper. These materials can absorb water and hold moisture, which can contribute to mould and mildew growth. Wet materials should be removed and properly disposed of. If necessary, our technicians will cut out the affected drywall and install new drywall and paint to match the surrounding area.
When cleaning and restoring water-damaged floors, it’s essential to remove any wet materials that can’t be dried out, such as wet carpeting, padding, or wooden flooring. These materials can absorb water and hold moisture, which can contribute to mould and mildew growth. Wet materials should be removed and properly disposed of. If the wood flooring is not severely damaged, our technicians can sand and refinish the wood flooring to restore its original appearance. If the damage is severe, it may be necessary to replace the flooring entirely.
When cleaning and restoring water-damaged ceilings, it’s essential to remove any wet materials that can’t be dried out, such as wet insulation, drywall, or plaster. These materials can absorb water and hold moisture, which can contribute to mould and mildew growth. Wet materials should be removed and properly disposed of. If the ceiling is severely damaged, our technicians will cut out the affected drywall and install new drywall and paint it to match the surrounding area.
It’s also important to know the potential mould growth in water-damaged areas. Mould can start to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure and can cause serious health problems. Our technicians are trained to identify and remove mould and mildew, which can help to improve the indoor air quality of your property.
In conclusion, water damage can cause significant harm to your walls, floors, and ceilings. By removing standing water, drying the affected area, removing wet materials, checking for mould growth and taking steps to prevent water from entering the area again, you can minimise the damage caused by water damage and restore your property to its former condition. If you are experiencing water damage, it is important to contact a professional restoration company like Reztor Restoration as soon as possible to properly assess the damage and take the necessary steps to repair it.
