Nobody ever knows when the next disaster
will strike. Weather conditions are changing and the storms we are
experiencing these days are more violent, and flooding is often the
consequence of these heavy storms. Of course water entering your home
can ruin your possessions entirely, and anybody that has experienced a
flood is urged to call their local Toronto plumbers as soon as possible.
However, methods of cleaning up after flooding will be determined by the severity of the flooding. Many people think that flood damage
is just a matter of mopping up the water and waiting for things to dry
out. They don’t realize that many times there is underlying damage which
only becomes evident much later on. Secondary water damage brings on
mold, mildew, and dangerous fungi which can cause a host of irritating
allergies as well as serious diseases like hepatitis and cholera.
Flooding always brings with it a mixture
of soil, bark, leaves, insects and other debris, and in many instances
when the flood waters are so severe, sewers can overflow. Left
unchecked, raw sewage can enter your groundwater and drinking water
supply. With flood damage of this nature professional help is
imperative because if you should come into contact with this type of
contaminated water, you can become seriously ill.
Professional Restoration Machines
Professional cleaners will disinfect and
decontaminate your entire home to eliminate pathogens and organisms
that are present in the sewage. Professional mop-up teams come rigged
out with rubber gloves, boots as well as face masks. They come with the
most advanced flood damage drying systems and machinery which
the average household will not normally have. They make use of
specialized equipment like industrial strength dehumidifiers which
encourage evaporation as well as tile and grout cleaning equipment, auto
scrubbers, carpet cleaning machines and wet vacuums which pump out all
water from your carpeting and home, making light work of the soggy and
ill-smelling mess.
Removing Mold and Mildew a Top Priority
Professional flood damage
restoration experts make use of their machines and special cleaning
techniques to kill off the mold and mildew which develops so quickly.
They check over your home’s water and electrical systems and check the
homes structural safety before commencing with the clean-up. Their aim
is to thoroughly dry the house as quickly as possible. They are aware
that ceilings which are mostly above the high-water mark may well be
undamaged and even dry, but they will still need checking because
surface damp can cause mold to grow there too.
Whether it is your hardwood floors that
need to be restored, your carpets, curtains or upholstery, they know
that even floodwater, which has not caused sewage spillovers, can
contain dangerous microbiological organisms, and the longer you delay
with calling professionals in, the more toxic mold and bacteria you can
expect. Before deciding on the techniques to use for a cleanup, these
skilled experts first determine the source of the water. Water from
sewage spills, and which contains harmful contaminants is known as black
water and swallowing black water can lead to nausea diarrhea,
abdominal cramps and vomiting.
