Water damage is one aspect of storm damage that is not as discussed as wind or impact damage, yet it is the one that can leave a lasting effect on your home. Therefore, water damage restoration should be left to professionals, especially in the following situations.
Water Damage Is Not as Easily Detected
Finding the extent of water damage can be difficult since it can get into every crevice of your home. Time is essential in dealing with water damage as other problems, such as mold and mildew growth, and structural damage, can happen down the line. If one of the supply pipes is damaged, flood water could contaminate your tap water.
In the case of excessive flooding, the water has to be drained out as fast as possible before it can seep into the house foundations and weaken it. It obviously won’t evaporate in time, so you’ll need a storm and hail damage restoration company with the equipment to quickly siphon off the flood water, dry the lingering moisture and repair the damaged flooring and other components.
Your Insurance Provider Will Need Documentation
If your insurance provider covers costs for water damage restoration and repair, the company will require accurate documentation of the extent of the damage as well as a quotation of the restoration and repair costs. Both need to be provided by a professional, or you may be looking into paying for the repair costs out of your own pocket.
Other parts of your home, such as roofing, siding and windows as well as the interior may likely have sustained damage that will need to be addressed. Hiring a professional that can work on all of these can provide a single, comprehensive quote and make the process much simpler. Signing only one set of paperwork expedites the claims process and begins the restoration sooner.
