5 Best Ways to Restore Water Damage

Winter snowmelt and spring downpours can cause water tables to rise and excessive groundwater runoff. Even properties with waterproofing membranes and powerful drainage systems can be affected by floodwaters. If you are suddenly ankle-deep in water, you need to act fast to mitigate damage and restore water damage before it can ruin the furniture and the flooring. Here are the five best ways to restore water damage in and around your property.

Portable Water Extraction

When you’ve experienced a flood, you need more than a mop and bucket to get rid of all the excess water. Using towels and a dryer also won’t do much if you have large quantities of water to remove. The best way to get rid of water is with a commercial-grade portable water extractor. These machines can extract and dump up to 30 gallons/minute to quickly and safely remove the water buildup inside your property. You should avoid making contact with the water in case it has been contaminated.

Carpet Cleaning

Once all the water has been removed, you’ll need to start drying out and cleaning the carpets to prevent mildew or mold growth from forming. Industrial-grade portable carpet cleaners can remove water and grime from the carpets and upholstery. Using high pressure and temperatures of up to 2000 ºF, these cleaners work to quickly remove any grease or stains that have formed in the carpet from the dirty water. 

Steam Cleaning

You’d be surprised at what kinds of things a flood can leave behind. Grease and tough to remove debris can get caked on your flooring and even your upholstery. A steam cleaner equipped with special tools such as brushes, squeegees and microfiber towels can help get your floors looking new again, even after severe water damage. The anti-bacterial properties can also remove any mildew or mold that has started to develop along the baseboards and in the corners. 

 

Floor Cleaning

 

For the tougher jobs, you might need something even more powerful than vapor steam technology to get the tiles sparkling again. Industrial tile and grout cleaning machines work up to 30 times faster than regular steam cleaners. Plus, they come with a squeegee to remove any remaining water and a motorized spinning head to scrub clean everything from the hardwood floors to the walls. The unique spinner can remove the most stubborn substances including oil and grease both inside and on outdoor surfaces.

Pressure Washing

After a serious flood, the walkways and outer property surfaces will also be caked in muck, grease and slime. For heavy-duty cleaning, a high-pressurized machine can provide the incredible cleaning power required to restore outdoor surfaces to their previous condition. Pressure washers are powerful tools that can blast away stains, mold, grease, and grime with little effort.
