FAQs
What should I do immediately after a water emergency?
- Turn off the power if there is a risk of electrical hazards
- If possible, stop the water flow by turning off the main water valve
- Move personal belongings and furniture to a dry area
- Take photos and videos for insurance claims
- Call a water damage restoration company (preferably Gforce Restoration Services) for removal and mold prevention
How long does it take for water damage to cause mold?
Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure. It is crucial to start the drying and dehumidification process as soon as possible to prevent mold growth.
Can I handle water damage cleanup myself?
Minor water damage can sometimes be handled by homeowners using household tools and cleaning supplies. However, significant water damage or contaminated water (sewage, floodwater) should be managed by professionals to ensure thorough drying and mold prevention.
What is the process for water damage restoration?
Water damage restoration typically involves:
- Determining the extent of the damage
- Removing the water using pumps and vacuums
- Using air movers and dehumidifiers to dry affected areas
- Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and belongings
- Repairing or replacing damaged structures and materials
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover water damage?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the water damage. Generally, sudden and accidental damage (e.g., burst pipes) is covered, while gradual damage (e.g., leaking roof due to lack of maintenance) may not be. Flood damage typically requires separate flood insurance.
