People don’t often associate a fire with water damage. However, it takes a lot of water to stop a fire and this leads to water damage. As soon as the fire is out, the homeowner or business owner should contact a Wichita Kansas Water Restoration company. Rhoden Restoration has 24-hour emergency service available. Their goal is to get to your home or business within one hour. Their emergency response team arrives with the equipment to quickly clean up water and remove the moisture from floors, walls and upholstery.
The Wichita Kansas Water Restoration company will also know how to coordinate with the insurance company. This will minimize the out-of-pocket expenses that the homeowner or business person faces during this difficult time. The faster the clean-up begins the less it will cost to fix. Insurance companies understand this and encourage their customers to contact a water restoration company immediately. Moving quickly will prevent odors from settling in to the wood, drywall or fabric. Often it is the odors that result from the fire and water damage that make a space unusable. Unpleasant odors are caused by mold, mildew, dirty water and a lingering dampness.
When Rhoden Restoration Wichita Kansas technicians arrive they evaluate the furniture, floors and belongings to determine what items can be saved and what need to be thrown out. The heat from a fire creates a chemical process that doesn’t stop when the fire stops. Some items will continue to deteriorate and can’t be saved. The team will know how to find the items that can be dried out and restored. Carpets, furniture upholstery and draperies are often salvageable. The team brings in large wet/dry vacuum cleaners that can sop up moisture and then dry fabric and wood surfaces. Giant heaters and dehumidifiers will continue to rid the space of unwanted moisture.
If they identify any areas where mold or mildew have begun to establish colonies, they will quickly eradicate them before they become a serous health concern. They have contractors who can expertly replace pieces of dry wall or flooring, if they have become infested. When the homeowner walks into a fully restored home, they won’t see any hint of the damage that occurred.
