Water Damage Removal: DIY Tips For You

by James T. Burcham January 23, 2021 No Comments

What happens when you have a leaked pipe at home? Or bad sewage system? What damages occur often in our homes. It is the more disastrous ones like storms, floods, and tsunamis we might not experience often. If your property gets wrecked by these disasters, what would you do? Sometimes, you might not get urgent help from professionals that offer water damage services Lakewood CO. In these situations, and only when the water damage is not extensive, you can help yourself out and prevent further damage to your properties with the tips explained in this article. However, if the water damage is extensive, for example, a flood or a storm, don’t attempt a cleanup yourself.

What are the Factors You Should Consider Before Water Damage Cleanup?

Before considering a do-it-yourself cleanup,  there are some important factors you should put into consideration. Two major important considerations are water volume and the source of water damage. The amount of water that is causing the havoc plays a very big role in determining if you’re going to do a cleanup yourself or hire a professional water damage service Lakewood CO. If the water damage involves a small volume, like small pipe leakage, you can do a cleanup yourself. However, if the damage involves a high volume of water, such as flooding and storms, you’ll need to call for professional help.

Another important factor to consider is the source of the water damage. Before you attempt to do a cleanup for water damage, you should know where the water is coming from. On most occasions, the color of the water can give you a clue to where it is coming from. For example, clear water will most likely come from leaky pipes or rain (via damaged roof), and is usually safe to handle the cleanup yourself. On the other hand, black water might come from sewage backup and is usually harmful to health. Thus, backwater damage will require the help of professional water damage services Lakewood CO.

What Can You Do?

Now that we’ve figured out when and when not to attempt a cleanup yourself, let’s see how you can go about it.

  • Disconnect All Electronics: Water is a good conductor of electricity. Thus, your very first action should be to unplug all electronic appliances from their switches. Even if the water damage doesn’t seem severe, disconnect all electric outlets.
  • Inspect for Mold Growth: Molds, also called fungi, belong to a class of microorganisms which can cause health damages. Because some of these mold strains are dangerous to healthy living and grow around wet environments, you should thoroughly inspect for mold growth and remove them as soon as possible. However, if the mold growth has been extensive, you’ll need a mold remediation service.
  • Dry the Water: Your next point of action should be to eliminate every trace of moisture. This is important because any moisture left could be a breeding ground for microorganisms, especially molds. Parasites are other microorganisms that thrive in moisture, especially stagnant water.
  • Dispose Of Materials that Release Are Damaged Beyond Repair: Most times, your furniture or appliances might be so badly hit by the water damage that restoration becomes unlikely. In these conditions, it is best to dispose off the materials because keeping it around will cause more harm than good.
