Water Damage Milpitas CA

As residents living in Northern California we are blessed with many amazing benefits. One of them being the weather. Although flooding and large scale rainstorms are rare occurrences in Milpitas, Water Damage still finds it’s way into 1000’s of homes every year; And even though weather is not the root cause there are plenty of other culprits contributing to water damaged properties here in Santa Clara County. From burst plumbing pipes, leaking appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, or from overflowing sinks and toilets due to backed up drains, water seems to find a way to damage homes and create tremendous headaches and hassles for home and business owners.

Most homeowners make the very big mistake of trying to remedy water damage on their own. This often times leads to excessive water damage that can cost thousands to repair. This DIY approach to water damage clean up is very ineffective! Mainly because it only address surface water, or water that is visible to the naked eye. When residual moisture is left over from an improperly performed water extraction, rot damage & mold growth can become rampant.

This is our water damage clean up and restoration process :

1st We Perform Our Water Damage Assessment. The water damage assessment is a pivotal part of the water damage mitigation process. If not done correctly the entire process can get delayed costing you time, money and potentially even getting your insurance claim denied! While removing excess moisture should be a priority once arriving on scene, a licensed professional will always take a few minutes to document the area, note losses and evaluate the situation before proceeding. During this time you should always request a quote for the services that will be rendered. If anything feels off, stop and contact another company for a second opinion!

2nd It’s Time to Pack & Preserve Your Items. By taking the time to pack up or move out of the way any items that may have been water damaged along with all unaffected items we can create a safe workspace and begin to ensure no further damages occur.

Moisture Reading & Assessment.  We will use our state-of-the-art equipment to take complete moisture level readings of all affected areas of your home. This will allow us to see water that may have seeped into and underneath walls, flooring, baseboards and cabinetry. Often times it is the residual moisture, or moisture left over after incomplete water damage restoration procedure, that leads to mold growth, warped flooring, soft spots on walls and peeling baseboards. Being thorough is of the utmost importance here. It is how we ensure no future damages occur. Improper water mitigation procedures after a flood is the leading cause of mold growth in affected homes.

Water Extraction.  Depending on the severity of the flooding we will use one or multiple pieces of equipment specifically designed to extract water from carpet and floors. We will systematically remove all visible water to reduce contact time and allow for the next part of the process.

Structural Dry-Out & Dehumidification. One of the last pieces of the process is structural dry-out and dehumidification. Our dehumidifiers will dry out any water that may have escaped the extraction process. Next we use high-powered drying equipment that can dry-out any remaining moisture. This can take from 1-3 days to become 100% effective but don’t worry, we don’t even have to be there for them to work.

When water damage hits a home or business the problem is typically addressed by calling a plumber to fix the route cause of the leak or line rupture that lead to the flooding in the first place. Next, homeowners do their best to dry out the floor. Usually this is done by mopping up excess water and opening windows to increase ventilation. This works for very small scale leaks or floods but what do you do if the flooding begins at night or when everyone is away or at work? This is when water can cover entire rooms of a home or business. Eating away at furniture, ruining walls, baseboards and flooring. It will take more than a quick mop job and some air flow to remedy this type of water damage. That is where we come in. At H&L Water Damage Restoration in Milpitas we will arrive on scene, dry out your home or office, and mitigate any losses before it’s too late!

Water extraction is the process of removing excess water build up brought on by natural disasters, flooding or other means. Some people think of water extraction as simple sucking up water and moving it from within a home or business. This is somewhat accurate but misses out on the bigger picture. When we extract water from a home we are focused on removing standing water. That is to say any water that is visibly pooled together on top of flooring of any kind. This is only step one in a proper water damage restoration protocol. Next we must remove water that the naked eye cannot see. Water that is underneath flooring, within baseboards and behind walls. This is where having a trusted water damage company at your call comes into play. If you rely on the wrong company or a general contractor you could be looking at $1,000’s in unnecessary repairs. Without the right equipment the only way to detect water inside a wall is to cut out a section and examine it! That is bad news for a home or business owner who was just hit with unexpected flooding. Is water underneath the flooring? An inexperienced company might advise you to rip it up! Terrible idea when the right moisture reading equipment can detect water hidden within and underneath almost any surface. Before you hire a company to perform your home or business’ water extraction in Milpitas, give us a call. We’ll save you money, restore your home to it’s pre-flood condition, and we can guarantee you’ll be glad you did!
