Flood Damage Restoration in Tustin

If there’s standing water you clearly need expert flood damage restoration.  For insurance coverage there’s a big difference between ground water sources (only covered by specific flood policies), building leaks, and plumbing problems (these last two usually covered by standard homeowner policies).  But for water restoration it’s more a matter health hazards (natural flooding is filled with soil disease organisms) and how aggressive drying needs to be.

Our water damage specialists stand ready with fast water removal, decontamination and sanitation, rapid drying (see Tustin Water Damage Restoration below), odor removal, debris removal, and repairs.  Our flood damage teams can also take care of basement drying as well as crawl space cleaning and drying.

 

Tustin Water Damage Restoration

For a small area of wet carpet, lifting that area to speed drying of the carpet and sub-floor can be enough.  But you’re likely to be surprised by how quickly a significant amount of water gets absorbed and even makes its way upwards inside walls.  And common plumbing incidents can release hundreds of gallons.  A tiny 3/100″ hole in a pipe leaks some 250 gallons a day.  A burst washing machine hose can release 500 gallons per hour until you’re back home and the water main is turned off.   Mold, warped and decaying wood, and disintegrating drywall happens in as little as a day.  Yet even a bathtub overflow can lead to dampness that takes weeks to fully dry out at natural rates of evaporation in Tustin’s climate.

Our professional water damage restoration begins with an assessment of not just visible damage but also of moisture levels.  We’ll determine the source of water in order to develop a detailed plan of the fastest path to getting everything safely dry.  That typically begins with surface water extraction with our super-powerful vacuums followed by structural dry out using industry-specific dehumidifiers and air movers.  Our water damage specialists will take care of disinfection and odor removal while our crews take care of water damage repairs and final cleanup.

 

Mold Remediation

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation is important.  There are thousands of species, and hundreds (not just black mold) are toxic.  Even when dead their contaminants cause allergies, trigger asthma attacks, and cause prolonged flu-like symptoms that can develop into serious conditions.  Toxic species can even be life threatening.  And all species slowly but surely destroy whatever they growing on, quite literally eating it.

Our highly-trained mold remediation specialists begin with a careful assessment.  That’s not just for visible damage.  They’ll use sensitive instruments to track down hidden moisture that’s usually accompanied by mold growing in complete darkness, such as inside walls.  They may also take samples for lab testing.  Where there’s a problem they’ll isolate the work area and set up air scrubbers and negative-pressure exhaust to prevent spreading contamination as they complete spore and mold removal by approved methods.  That usually includes removing affected materials such as drywall, so we’ll take care of those damage repairs as well.  To protect everyone’s health and minimize the chances of regrowth we’ll dry out the structure and apply non-toxic anti-fungal treatments.  We can also perform carpet, air duct, and crawl space cleaning.  And we can use our special equipment to permanently remove any musty odors, wherever they might be hiding.

 

Sewage Backup Cleaning

Even a toilet overflow is a major health hazard if feces are present, and a sewage backup clearly calls for our sanitation expertise.  Before sewage removal even begins we’ll isolate against the spread of disease micro-organisms.  If our sewage cleanup team can’t send the mess back down the drain we’ll use vacuum sewage extraction then meet all Tustin requirements for waste transport and disposal.  We’ll thoroughly disinfect, sterilizing or replacing materials as necessary to leave everything sanitary and free of odors.


The Tustin Climate

If you live or run a business in Tustin you probably think you have little to worry about when it comes to floods.  If you’re talking about knee-deep natural flooding you’re probably right (although there has been on average some 3 floods within a 50 mile radius of Tustin, Tustin Natural Disasters.  But plumbing and appliance failures are among the top causes of water damage repair insurance claims.  So don’t neglect maintenance and have a thorough inspection from time to time. Keep in mind that outdoor relative humidity averages some 80% in the early morning (https://www.pge.com/includes/docs/pdfs/about/edusafety/training/pec/toolbox/arch/climate/california_climate_zone_08.pdf) so that mold can be a problem wherever there’s poor ventilation even without any other problems.
