Water damage restoration in Cape Coral is something we've learned to almost expect. It can happen anytime; not just during hurricane season. Unfortunately, it is something that requires a professional Cape Coral flood and water restoration service. If it's not addressed immediately, it can, and usually will, lead to bacterial and mold growth. This, in turn, can pose potential health risks.   

When water damage is not addressed immediately, it can lead to long-term problems. Therefore, it is critical to hire a water restoration service to help you manage the water damage on your property. 

Here are the reasons you should hire a flood and water restoration service. 

Timely Response

Time is critical when it comes to water restoration. Removing the water quickly lessens the chance of mold growth. 

Our Cape Coral flood and water restoration technicians have the necessary tools and equipment to remove any and all water. Our certified technicians have extensive training on all aspects of water restoration, carpet cleaning and more.  

Commercial-Grade Equipment

Our commercial grade equipment has powerful suction to remove all moisture. We possess over 100 commercial-grade fans and dehumidifiers to make sure everything is dry. These fans and dehumidifiers may be left onsite until the job is finished, depending on the amount of water that needs to be addressed. 

If water has seeped through your drywall, we will drill holes in the drywall to allow air to penetrate through to allow drying inside the drywall. You may have to remove the drywall and replace it, depending on the amount of water damage.

Knowledgeable Assessment

Our technicians have extensive knowledge about water restoration. They can assist you in whether or not the damage to your drywall, carpet, appliances, etc. is extensive enough to be fixed or replaced.

Flood Cleanup Protection for You and Your Family

Flood and water cleanup protection is important. Flood water can make the air in your home unhealthy. Mold can grow on wood, drywall, carpet and furniture if they remain wet for more than 24 hours. Breathing in mold can make you sick. Flood water can also contain bacteria, chemicals or other hazards which may affect your health. There are four important steps you need to take before deciding whether to attempt flood cleanup yourself:

• Stay safe as you clean up.

• Sort materials and throw away anything you cannot clean and dry.

• Clean the house and everything in it that was wet or moldy.

• Dry the house and everything in it completely.

Visit EPA’s Flooded Homes Cleanup site for a complete guide to flooded home cleanup, including how-to videos.

Note: If your home is damaged by water from a pipe leak or rainwater intrusion, go to the EPA mold website for information on mold prevention and cleanup. Water damage from these types of events typically presents fewer hazards and affects a smaller area than damage from hurricanes and floods.

A Few Smart Things You Can Do to Prevent Water Damage

There are several ways you can prevent the need for flood and water restoration.  

1.  Replace your Gutters.  Everyone knows that clogged gutters causes water to flow down into your basement. Rather than climbing a dangerous ladder to clean out the gutters (which rarely cleans all the built-up debris), replacing the gutters reduces your risk of water damage and serious bodily injury.

2.  Be mindful of where you put your garden.  It's important to know where all the pipes, septic tanks, sprinklers, etc. are before planting large trees or other plants.  Roots can cause foundation damage, which can lead to water damage and the need for professional flood and water restoration.

3.  Add Smart Home Technology.  Washing machines have manual valves you can turn on and off. The problem is, we're not home 24/7 to do that.  Try installing some smart home technology to turn off water to your appliances.  This can prevent or reduce the chances of water damage and the need for professional flood and water restoration services.

4.  Install a Sump Pump.  Basements are usually the first place to flood. Investing in a sump pump will prevent flooding and the need for professional flood and water restoration services.
