Water Damage Repair Service

Flooding or "water damage" inside a home or business can occur from any type of water supply source (plumbing or nature) and is almost always accidental, random, or unexpected. However, no matter what the case may be, water damage will generally be covered through a property insurance policy (with a few exceptions based on individual policies and the issuing company). www.waterdamagemoldremoval.blogspot.com

Water Damage too can be a very stressful situation, nevertheless, try not to panic. Some water damage situations can be resolved quite easily without having to file an insurance claim so, if possible, DO NOT call your insurance company first!. Furthermore, it is always best to have a professional water damage company evaluate the situation first, to determine the extent of the loss while minimizing any further damage from occurring to your structure or belongings (click here for some do's and don'ts until help arrives).

Once the water has stopped from spreading, the option of filing a claim will be discussed. Should a claim be the best solution, it is highly recommended to review your insurance policy first before filing the claim. This will determine for sure if your policy covers the loss or not. If an accurate conclusion can not be made from reviewing the policy yourself, your next best option is to contact your insurance AGENT - NOT - the insurance claims department to obtain this information, even if it means waiting until the following day.

Arizona's Restoration Experts have been dealing with water damage claims and mold related problems in Arizona for years and are able to walk you through the entire claim filing process if needed.

24 Hour Water Extraction
(Water Removal)

Water removal & response time are the most critical factors when dealing with water damage! The longer water is permitted to linger, the more saturation sets in. So don't hesitate to call our professional on call staff to help you in your time of need! A water damage situation with minimal saturation can be resolved fairly quickly with little to no structural alterations. On the other hand, once maximum saturation has set in, the need for structural alterations is almost always immanent, making it a more costly project.

Removing the standing water (water removal/water extraction) is the first step to getting things back to normal. No matter the time of day, or day of week, our company responds to water removal like the fire department responds to a fire; Call now!

Mold Removal Service

Molds are simple, microscopic organisms, found virtually everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Mold can be found on plants, foods, dry leaves, and other organic material. Molds are needed for breaking down dead material. Mold spores are very tiny and lightweight, and this allows them to travel through the air. Mold growths can often be seen in the form of discoloration, ranging from white to orange and from green to brown and black. When molds are present in large quantities, they can cause allergic symptoms similar to those caused by plant pollen.

Exposure to mold inside buildings is not healthy for anyone. It is important to quickly identify and correct any moisture sources before health problems develop. The following individuals appear to be at higher risk for adverse health effects of molds: infants and children, elderly immune compromised patients (people with HIV infection, cancer chemotherapy, liver disease, etc.) pregnant women individuals with existing respiratory conditions, such as allergies, multiple chemical sensitivity, and asthma.

Allergic reactions may be the most common health problem of mold exposure. Typical symptoms from mold (alone or in combination) include: respiratory problems, such as wheezing, and difficulty in breathing nasal and sinus congestion eyes-burning, watery, reddened, blurry vision, light sensitivity dry, hacking cough sore throat nose and throat irritation shortness of breath skin irritation central nervous system problems (constant headaches, memory problems, and mood changes) aches and pains possible fever

Four steps of professional mold remediation

Mold Containment: Technicians isolate the area of contamination to minimize the spread of mold spores to other areas of the home.
Mold Filtration: HEPA air filters and negative air machines run continuously throughout the project. Mold spores, dust, MVOCs, gaseous compounds (i.e. Radon), and other airborne debris are removed from the air.
Mold Removal and Cleanup: Mold contaminated materials that cannot be cleaned are removed according to mold remediation standards. Sheetrock, carpet, furniture, and other damaged materials will have to be replaced to prevent mold from returning.
Structural Repair, Replacement and Modification: If moisture is still present, no level of remediation effort will be successful. The source and cause of the moisture must be eliminated. This can be a very costly step, as it involves structural repair/replacement (e.g. roof or foundation repairs), and/or structural modifications (e.g. water pumps, new ventilation systems).

Water damage can often be avoided with routine maintenance and assistance from qualified contractors like those with Arizona's Restoration Experts.

It will be well worth your time to take a few extra moments every week to check potential trouble spots in and around your home. Early detection could mean the difference between a simple mop-up job and major construction repairs.

General Tips

Check for hidden leaks by turning off faucets, all water-using appliances, and not flushing toilets for one hour. Record the water meter reading. If the flow indicator (triangular or diamond-shaped rotating button) is spinning or the meter reading has changed while no water is being used, a leaking pipe may exist.

Know where the main water shut off valve is located in your home and check it frequently to make sure it is operational.
Inside Your Home
Water leaks can happen anywhere in the house, but they occur most frequently in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry rooms.

Kitchen
Dishwasher - Periodically check under the sink to see if the hose connection to the water supply line is secure and is not leaking. Check around the base of the dishwasher for evidence of leaks. Look for discolored, warped, or soft flooring materials or water damage to nearby cabinets.

Refrigerator - If your refrigerator has an icemaker, check the hose connection to make sure it is securely attached to the water supply line. The wet spot you see on the floor near the refrigerator may be melted ice cubes or it may be a crimped icemaker line about to burst.

Sink - Recaulk around sinks and pay attention to slow-draining pipes. This may indicate a partially blocked drain. Check the pipes under the sink for signs of water leaks.
Bathroom
Showers and bathtubs - Discoloration or soft areas around floors and walls near showers or bathtubs may be your first indication there is a leak. Check caulking at joints where the walls meet the floor or the bathtub, looking for cracks or mold. If either is found, clean and remove loose material and apply new sealant. If the shower walls or floor are tiled, a leak may develop if there are cracks or missing areas of grout.

Sinks - Check under the sink for signs of leaks from water supply lines or drainpipes.

Toilets - Placing inappropriate objects or too much toilet paper in the bowl can accidentally clog toilets, especially low-flow toilets now required in homes. Hanging bowl deodorants are frequently the culprits. These objects can lodge deep in the plumbing system, and can block the line or create an obstruction that grease and other materials can cling to - eventually causing blockage. In addition, some chlorine tablet cleaners may corrode some of the internal components, eventually leading to a leak.
Laundry/Utility Room
Washing Machine - Inspect washing machine hoses regularly for wetness around hose ends and signs of bulging, cracking or fraying. Replace the hose if a problem is found or every three to five years as part of a proactive maintenance program.

Water heater - Most water heaters last 10 to 15 years. Wet spots on the floor or a rusted tank may signal a problem. Hot water heaters should be installed on the lowest level of the home and always located next to a floor drain. If installed above or adjacent to finished spaces, the hot water heater should be placed inside a drain pan with the drain pan piped to the floor drain.

Air conditioning - At the start of the cooling season, have the A/C system serviced by a qualified contractor. Make sure their service includes inspecting and cleaning the air conditioner condensation pan drain line to keep it free of obstructions. Change the air filters on a regular basis.
Basement
Sump pump - Sump pump systems assist in keeping unwanted water out of your home. Battery-operated back-up sump pumps can offer a degree of protection against power failure or failure of the primary pump. A generator can also be used to power the pump in case of a power failure. Test the sump pump before the start of each wet season to ensure it is in working order. Sump pumps are not intended to last more than 10 years and must have some components replaced or serviced within those 10 years.
Outside Your Home
Leaking roofs, poor drainage, and clogged gutters and downspouts can lead to significant water damage inside your home.

General Tips
Disconnect garden hoses from all spigots before the start of winter.

Fill in any low spots around the house so water drains away from the foundation.

Inspect caulking around windows and doors and replace as needed where cracked or deteriorated.

Repaint wood siding as needed.
Roof
Keep roof, valleys, gutters and downspouts free from buildup of leaves, twigs and other litter preventing proper drainage.

Proper roof and eave ventilation may help extend the life of the roof by reducing the buildup of heat and moisture in the attic.

Preservatives available for some types of roofs may help limit weathering effects of moisture and retard growth of molds and mosses.

Avoid walking on a roof to limit wear and tear. Only necessary repairs or inspections should warrant walking on the roof.

Keep trees trimmed to prevent them from rubbing against the roof or from providing excessive shade.

Watch for these warning signs:

Missing, curling, cupping, broken or cracked shingles.

Damage or deterioration around the flashing at chimneys, vents and other junctions.

Damage or deterioration in valley areas of the roof.

Water stains on your ceiling. If possible, check your attic around flues, plumbing vents, and chimneys.

Pooling or ponds of water that fail to drain from flat or low sloped roofs may indicate low areas and inadequate drainage.

Gutters/Downspouts
Clean debris from your gutters and inspect them regularly.

Consider purchasing gutter shields if your gutters frequently fill with debris.

Downspouts should extend several feet away from the house to carry water away from the foundation.
Hardware that can help
Water leak detection systems can help you check for leaks when you can't.

Water Alarms
This device is only beneficial if someone is inside the home, hears the alarm and takes action to stop the leak.

These systems are typically battery-operated, stand-alone units. They are inexpensive and easy to install.

A moisture sensor is located on the device and will activate an audible alarm when it senses moisture.

Water alarms can be placed on the floor or they may be wall mounted.

The water alarm should be located in high-risk areas such as under sinks and near appliances and equipment that use water.

Water alarms range in cost from $8 to $45.
Individual Appliance Systems
These systems are installed on a specific appliance and will automatically shut off the water supply in the event of a leak.

Depending on the type of device, you may be able to install this system without any special tools. However, in some cases, a qualified plumber may be needed.

Individual appliance systems range in cost from $50 to $150.
Whole-house Systems
These systems feature a shut-off valve that is installed on the main water supply piping. When a leak is detected, the system will automatically shut off the entire water supply.

Some models can be integrated with a local or central station security system.

If you travel often, this type of system could offer you additional peace of mind while you are away from home.

Whole-house systems typically take between four and six hours to install. They cost between $500 and $1,500 depending on labor rates and the size of the system.

Moisture control is the number one way to prevent mold growth

Water in your home can come from many sources. Water can enter your home by leaking or by seeping through basement floors. Showers or even cooking can add moisture to the air in your home. The amount of moisture that the air in your home can hold depends on the temperature of the air. As the temperature goes down, the air is able to hold less moisture. This is why, in cold weather, moisture condenses on cold surfaces (for example, drops of water form on the inside of a window). This moisture can encourage biological pollutants to grow.

There are many ways to control moisture in your home:

Fix leaks and seepage. If water is entering the house from the outside, your options range from simple landscaping to extensive excavation and waterproofing. (The ground should slope away from the house.) Water in the basement can result from the lack of gutters or a water flow toward the house. Water leaks in pipes or around tubs and sinks can provide a place for biological pollutants to grow.


Put a plastic cover over dirt in crawlspaces to prevent moisture from coming in from the ground. Be sure crawlspaces are well-ventilated.


Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove moisture to the outside (not into the attic). Vent your clothes dryer to the outside.


Turn off certain appliances (such as humidifiers or kerosene heaters) if you notice moisture on windows and other surfaces.


Use dehumidifiers and air conditioners, especially in hot, humid climates, to reduce moisture in the air, but be sure that the appliances themselves don't become sources of biological pollutants.


Raise the temperature of cold surfaces where moisture condenses. Use insulation or storm windows. (A storm window installed on the inside works better than one installed on the outside.) Open doors between rooms (especially doors to closets which may be colder than the rooms) to increase circulation. Circulation carries heat to the cold surfaces. Increase air circulation by using fans and by moving furniture from wall corners to promote air and heat circulation. Be sure that your house has a source of fresh air and can expel excessive moisture from the home.


Pay special attention to carpet on concrete floors. Carpet can absorb moisture and serve as a place for biological pollutants to grow. Use area rugs which can be taken up and washed often. In certain climates, if carpet is to be installed over a concrete floor, it may be necessary to use a vapor barrier (plastic sheeting) over the concrete and cover that with sub-flooring (insulation covered with plywood) to prevent a moisture problem.


Moisture problems and their solutions differ from one climate to another. The Northeast is cold and wet; the Southwest is hot and dry; the South is hot and wet; and the Western Mountain states are cold and dry. All of these regions can have moisture problems. For example, evaporative coolers used in the Southwest can encourage the growth of biological pollutants. In other hot regions, the use of air conditioners which cool the air too quickly may prevent the air conditioners from running long enough to remove excess moisture from the air. The types of construction and weatherization for the different climates can lead to different problems and solutions.
