After receiving professional mold remediation services from a certified contractor, along with repairs for the underlying causes of the infestation, mold problems are typically resolved. However, it is still possible, for mold to return later on

Fortunately for homeowners who’ve recently undergone mold remediation, there are preventive measures that you can take to help keep mold from growing back. Here are some proactive steps that you can take to keep mold away for good: 1) Identify areas where there’s a moisture problem, and correct it. 2) Dry wet areas as soon as possible. 3) Keep out moisture with proper ventilation. 4) Use mold-resistant building materials whenever possible. 5) Keep your indoor humidity between 30 and 60 percent.

The first step in fire damage remediation is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the destruction. An inspector from ARC will identify all areas of your home that have been affected, create a detailed remediation plan, and explain what will be necessary to restore your home to its pre-fire condition. Every home is different, and no two fires are the same. The process of restoring your home will depend on the size of the fire, the specific rooms affected, and the structure of your home (wiring, plumbing, windows, HVAC system, tiling, and mechanical systems).

The length of time depends on the extent of the damage and the complexity of the restoration. A fire in a single room will take less time to restore than an entire floor, while a contemporary building that doesn’t have to comply with historical neighborhood codes or require hard to find replacement items will be completed sooner.

The cost of water damage cleanup depends on the size of the flooded area and amount of time needed to handle the water repair. If your insurance policy covers water damage restoration, you are typically only responsible for the deductible. Because water can move so quickly and be extremely destructive, if not promptly removed with the right equipment, there can be even bigger problems like mold growth and even structural damage. When done properly, fixing water damage can take several days and many man-hours to complete, which have varying costs.

Water repair or water cleanup is a multi-phase process. The first step is to remove all standing water from flooring, wet carpet and other affected materials. Once the water is removed, dehumidifiers and other specialized equipment are used to dry the areas. This can take multiple days, depending on the amount of water and spaces involved. After the process is complete, we use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras (when applicable) to make sure your home is thoroughly dry. Fixing water damage may also involve drywall removal, carpet cleaning, wood floor repair, odor control, air duct cleaning and mold removal.

No. As a matter of fact, your insurance company would prefer you call a water damage restoration company to begin water cleanup and fix water damage as soon as possible. The faster our crews arrive, the more destruction we can prevent, which decreases restoration costs and protects your home from further house flood damage. You still want to call your insurance company to make a claim, but you should not wait for an adjuster to arrive before calling a professional company to fix water damage.
