Part 1 – Flood Water Removal Steps
In Wayne, Oakland & Macomb County
Spring is almost here in Southeast Michigan! And although Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County are having a very mild winter, the heavy rains of spring can often mean flooding and water damage.
In fact, a warmer winter can actually increase the risk of flooding. This is because cold-weather snow melts and disperses slowly and can be absorbed into the ground over time. But sudden warm-weather rain storms saturate the ground and fill up sewers faster – which can result in flooding and water damage.
This month Aaron’s Restoration is posting a three part series on flood restoration and water removal – so you can be prepared for spring rains in Oakland Wayne & Macomb County.
Emergency Flood Water Removal Steps– Macomb County
When flooding or water damage strikes, removing water as quickly as possible is essential. This is because all flood water carries microscopic bacteria and mold spores! Water removal should begin immediately and undertaken rapidly.
Obviously sewage backup is full of harmful bacteria. And it makes sense that rain water floods also carries some microscopic pathogens. But, even “clean” water from burst pipes is dangerous because it picks up harmful bacteria as is seeps through walls and under carpet.
And, bacteria and mold love water. So harmful germs will start growing immediately in any damp places.
This is why simply drying out your flood water damage with a household fan is very dangerous. A fan does not “extract” the water like professional flood water removal equipment does. A fan dries from the surface down – which can take weeks – and may never even get to the deepest layers of your walls, floor and carpet.
By the time you dry your walls, floor, furniture or carpet with a fan it will be too late. Dangerous mold and bacteria will be growing inside – especially where you cannot see it. So immediately calling a flood water removal specialist is absolutely necessary.
