AdvantaClean Committed To Helping Fort Lauderdale Residents Fix Premises after Water Damage - Press Release - Digital Journal Posted: 26 Jul 2019 01:12 PM PDT As weather patterns change and Fort Lauderdale storms become more prevalent, the potential of water damage in home and subsequent mold growth increase as well. Most Fort Lauderdale residents will soon be dealing with lots of moisture problems. Even worse, when it comes to mitigating water damage issues, many homeowners often feel that they can conduct the cleanup on their own because it seems more affordable and efficient. However, this is not true since water damage restoration experts are the best-recommended people to fix such issues most safely and effectively. Professionals not only inspect all the areas that have been affected by the water damage or leaks but also ensure that no area is left un-restored.  This is meticulous cleaning process reduces the risk of further damage from water that may be lingering in the basement, under the floors, in cabinets and drawers, and other less visible sections of the home. Additionally, most homeowners don't have the right equipment to handle the restoration process, which not only involves water but also mold issues. On the contrary, professionals have the right gear to ensure that the cleanup process is completed without endangering the home occupants' health.

A professional contractor also understands the relevant EPA requirements and knows the steps to take to properly clean the area." Mitigating Mold Growth after water damage All it takes for mold to grow after water damage is 24-48 hours. It is, therefore, critical to remove all the wet contents, including carpeting, furniture, and bedding as soon as possible. Although some experts advise that items that have been wet for less than 48 hours can be salvaged, what should guide any homeowner is whether or not the item holds monetary or sentimental value to salvage. The next step is to thoroughly clean the area, including wood beams, drywall, insulations, etc. Lastly, disinfect the area not only to curb mold growth but also to get rid of any form of bacteria that could have come up through toilets and sewers.

What to Know About Water-Damaged Appliances - ConsumerReports.org Posted: 14 Sep 2018 12:00 AM PDT To keep yourself and your family safe as you assess the damage: 1. Wait for a Pro to Inspect "One of the worst things homeowners can do after a flood is attempt to air-dry their appliances and then turn them on," says Chris Granger, vice president of Sears Home Services, which repairs almost 7 million appliances a year. "This can cause the appliance to short-circuit, or worse, shock the user, resulting in serious and life-threatening injury if there's moisture in the electrical components."  If water has flooded a room and appliances came into contact with the water, the best approach is to wait until the water recedes, then disconnect the appliances from power sources. Never do this while standing in water. "Do not reconnect appliances until a qualified technician has inspected them," Nanni adds.  2. Don't Turn On the HVAC Turning on your cooling (or heating) equipment can spread mold throughout the duct work and your home, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guide to re-entering a flooded home. Have an HVAC pro experienced in mold cleanup inspect your system before you turn it on. "Professional cleaning will kill the mold and prevent later mold growth," according to the CDC. If your HVAC system is deemed safe, once you get it up and running you can use it to remove excess moisture from your home. 3. Beware of Mold Inside Your Refrigerator and Freezer If the fridge or freezer is still running when you get home, that's a good sign. But it doesn't mean the appliance is in the clear. Insulation that gets wet will dry slowly once the appliance is plugged in and running, making it susceptible to mold.  You could be in luck if the water rose just several inches in your kitchen. "The refrigerator's compressor and condenser are sealed and—unless it's a built-in model—those parts are located at the bottom of the refrigerator," says Joe Pacella, the engineer who runs CR's tests of refrigerators and freezers. "That means the insulation is probably dry, since it's higher up." (The insulation in a chest freezer is probably wet because it's much closer to the floor than a refrigerator's).  Water and ice. A refrigerator's water dispenser and icemaker are hooked up to your water line. So if you've been without water or under a boil alert, you'll want to change your refrigerator's water filter, says Greg Crite, manager of GE Appliances' Technical Assistance Group. He also recommends several other steps to protect your health: Throw out your ice, flush the dispenser for 3 to 5 minutes, run the icemaker for an hour, and wash and sanitize the bins.
