Some Critical Suggestions About Water Damage

Water Damage Restoration

You come in and find the place looks like Niagara Falls and you are thrust into the water damage restoration process. You now find yourself in a position in which you need to assess the value as well as the importance of each and every item effected by the water damage. When the majority, if not all, of your belongings have been destroyed, it may be emotionally difficult to determine which items you want to salvage. Intellectually you know that keeping water damaged things that are beyond repair or things that may not have any further use is impractical and will just cost you a lot of storage space and money but the personal value of family heirlooms is priceless. Still you should strive to be extremely practical throughout the water damage restoration process so as you will be able to quickly and effectively reorganize your life back to its pre-water damage normalcy.

Foods And Perishables

Water damaged foods and other perishables that have been soiled via direct water contact, in most cases, should not be consumed and must be disposed of properly. Broken tableware including cups, glasses, and other kitchen tools that have come into contact with black water should be discarded as the affected item is, most likely, not fit or sanitary enough to be used.

Avoid These Items

Do not operate any of your electrical appliances when dealing with water damage. It can be extremely dangerous to operate any of your electrical appliances while standing on a wet carpet or water damaged floors! Your Blu-ray and HD television(s), DVR, TiVo, Google or Apple TV, Microsoft Windows and Apple computer(s), iPad(s), AT&T or Verizon iPhone(s), iPod(s), Amazon Kindle, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft X-Box, Kinect, Sony Playstation, recent E-Bay purchases, and the rest of your electrical appliances need to be checked first by a professional technician before you are able to determine which still function and can be kept and which items need to be replaced. Likewise, you should check your annual passes to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR, and Busch Gardens and your advance or one day tickets to the Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil to ensure these items did not succumb to the water damage else you may have to call their customer service lines for replacements.

Don't Clean Anything

Do not try to dry your house or building with a blower or any heat inducing item. Rather than eliminating or removing the standing water or excessive moisture that originated from the water damage, this do-it-yourself method will be the catalyst for the uncontrolled growth of mildew and mold and can spread the water further into the building which can result in even more moisture damage and a more entailed restoration process.

Roof Claims: Hail and Wind Storm Damage


The roof of your house is your first line of defense against the elements. On a sunny day the sun can heat your roof to unbearable temperatures. On a rainy day it is the first to get soaked by the rain. On a windy day your shingles can get blown or torn away from your house. Finally, on those stormy days, a hail storm can beat up your roof and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. What kind of damage can a hail or wind storm actually cause? The most common type of roof damage is called storm damage. This is damage caused by wind, hail, or both.

In 2009 hail storms caused over $1.2 billion worth of property damage in the United States. Often times this type of roof damage is not noticeable until other parts of your home have been affected. Hail hits cause a reduction in the life expectancy of your shingles. When hail hits your shingles the top layer of granules is removed from the matting causing damage in the form of small circular marks on the shingles. These small marks eventually cause leaks leading to more costly damage such as interior drywall rot and upper roof decking damage. It may take months or years for leaks to form around these marks, but the ultimate cause is the hail. Delayed repairs can cause a lapse in the statute of limitations given by the home-owners insurance company leaving you, the homeowner, responsible for all the repairs needed. This is why it is very important to have a prompt inspection. You should not wait until you see a leak to call a storm restoration specialist.

Wind damage occurs when strong wind gusts blow the shingles in such a way that it causes them to crease, crack, or blow completely off the roof decking. Creased or cracked shingles become weaker and will continue to blow back in future storms. As the shingle tabs continue to get blown back and forth upon the weakened crease, the shingle can eventually pull away and cause the roof decking to be exposed to the elements. Other times shingles will lift up from the shingle underneath it enough for debris to lodge underneath. Once debris is underneath the shingle, it will no longer properly adhere to the roof. These kinds of damage will compromise the integrity of the roof causing leaks and additional damage.

The only way to know for sure the type of damage you have is to have a trained professional thoroughly inspect your roof. A roof restoration specialist can help you determine if you need your roof replaced.
