Why Water Remediation Is Important

When your home experiences water damage, it can quickly turn into a much bigger problem. In addition to damaging your walls, floors, and furniture, the moisture left behind by water damage becomes a perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew, and other biological growth.

Mold and mildew can be dangerous, especially for sensitive individuals like children, the elderly, and respiratory disorders. Your indoor air quality can rapidly deteriorate, and once mold begins to grow, it can be hard to get rid of it completely.

Because mold can start to grow in less than 24 hours, it’s important to call in the experts right away. At Mallard Plumbing and Mechanical, we’re ready to respond to your water damage 24/7, whether it’s due to plumbing issues or the weather. Just pick up the phone, and we’ll be there as soon as possible.

How Water Remediation Works

When it comes to water remediation, the first step is to ensure that whatever caused the water damage is resolved, whether flooding has subsided or the plumbing issue has been fixed. Trying to start repairs before that happens means you’ll only end up doing the work over again.

The next step is to start drying out the area. We’ll remove any excess water in the area with the proper equipment, meaning more than just a wet-dry vacuum. We have professional-grade equipment designed to move large amounts of water quickly to limit the amount of time your home spends soaking in excess water.

We then use high-powered fans and dehumidifiers to help accelerate the drying process. The faster all of the moisture gets eliminated, the less likely you are to have further problems with mold and other damage.

Our crew then sanitizes the area, choosing the proper soaps and detergents based on what caused the damage. While water from an overflowing sink is easy to clean, other sources like sewage present a much more significant risk to human health and require more intensive cleaning.

Once the cleaning is complete, we’ll work with you to restore damaged property, including drywall, carpeting, and wooden floors. Any areas that have started to warp or disintegrate will need to be replaced, and the technicians at Mallard Plumbing and Mechanical will make sure your home is as good as new.

If your home has experienced water damage, don’t hesitate to give Mallard Plumbing and Mechanical a call. We’re proud of our commitment to our community, and our one-stop plumbing shop is here to get your home back in shape.
