With primary water damage, you are usually able to instantly identify the destruction that has been caused. One of the main problems you could face is invisible secondary damage. Moisture can quickly change from liquid to water vapor that can then travel around the property. Once this vapor re-condenses, it can then be absorbed by porous materials.
It is essential that all water damage repairs are completed professionally and thoroughly from the first assessment of secondary damage. Otherwise, this may cause damage that may not be noticed for many years to come.
Flood Classification – Need to Know:
We categorize flood incidents to help with our decision making. Internationally accepted standards classify water damage incidents according to the source of the water as follows:
1. Clean water – water that is not harmful to humans; water from broken pipes, sink overflows, appliance leaks.
2. Grey water – water which may carry some micro-organisms. (For example, water from dishwashers, washing machines, broken aquariums).
3. Black water – grossly unsanitary water, water containing large quantities of micro-organisms and other contaminants. This could include sewage entering a building, sea water, ground surface water and water from streams and rivers.
Aged incidents – prolonged humid conditions over several days can cause absorbent materials to pick up extra moisture. There is then an increased risk of mold growth, along with the potential for health effects.
The Hazards of Mold
Your home is normally dry – much dryer than outside, and therefore mold free.
After a flood this changes and mold spores are more prevalent, thriving of the available moisture.
Due to the infection risks associated with mold, especially for anyone with a suppressed immune system or respiratory issues, it is vital that the property undergoes full water damage and flood restoration.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”106″ img_size=”500×300″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”yes” top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1498516565386{margin-top: -20px !important;margin-bottom: -60px !important;border-top-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 3% !important;padding-bottom: 4% !important;border-top-color: #ffff01 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”1/3″ animation=”fade-in” css=”.vc_custom_1467299366330{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-tint” color=”custom” size=”xl” align=”center” custom_color=”#171c80″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fdev.bhplus-restoration.com%2Fservices%2F|||”][vc_custom_heading text=”Water Damage Restoration” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25px|text_align:center|color:%23222222″ google_fonts=”font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1496856745420{margin-top: -20px !important;}” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fdev.bhplus-restoration.com%2Fservices%2F|||”]
