By Rebecca Allen


Water damage restoration is the process of restoring a property back to its original condition after sustaining damages. Restoration is based on principles, research, and some practical experience containing extensive consultation and information gathered from various sources. This sources includes the scientific community, international, national and regional trade association and other institutions with specialized experience in Boston water damage restoration.

In various indoor environments such as residences, water has been a long-term destructive substance. Personal property and other structures may be damaged by a lot of moisture and flooding. Technicians supposed to carry out the repairs may delay causing serious damages to the properties but when they arrive early, they are able to reduce any serious damages from occurring.

Excess rains, broken pipe, and flooding can cause havoc on your home and belongings. This damage happens when least expected but how you react is critical. Restoration should be done quickly to minimize the damage. When you identify any leakages, you need to call qualified technicians to repair the damages.

Technicians dealing with water removal during emergencies get certified after training. After contacting the experts, they contact you back in a period of 15 minutes advising you on how you can minimize the damage before they arrive. They arrive in a period of three hours or earlier.

Minimizing damages while you wait for the technicians to restore the problem, you need to apply the basics which include, trying to stop the water at its source if possible, turning off the electricity and removing any devices that are in areas with excess water and you need not to walk on wet carpets. Never get tempted to turn on fans, air conditioners and a heating unit as it may cause contamination in case the damage is sewage related.

When working within a residence, the technicians have to work around the contents of the home such as the furniture, electronics, books, and other materials that have been damaged. The contents may require treatment due to the effects of the water such as, sterilization, sanitation, deodorization, drying and storing of said content. Some contents may be unsalvageable or the cost of salvaging it may exceed its current market value. In such cases, they may be discarded.

According to the industry guidelines, technicians should place drying equipment after the waters have been extracted. The industry standards, drying vendors are supposed to return to the residence after a certain period to monitor the equipment, temperature, humidity, and the moisture content of the affected areas. In case an area is dry, and another area is wet, the technicians will be able to remove the content accordingly.

Temperatures, humidity, moisture content will eventually get to acceptable levels and with this the drying machines are removed finalizing the restoration. There are different methods and criteria that are used in accessing damages that are caused by waters before establishing its restoration. There really are no rules applied in restoration as all cases are unique therefore its not always applicable to all the situations.

Its important that you identify the best technicians and equipment that are most suitable for the extraction such as the submersible pumps. This will help in completely drying the affected areas.
