Contacting a Water Restoration Expert

It may be a good idea to contact a water damage restoration expert to handle the task of dry-out/tear-out for you if you’re inspecting your own property and do not have experience in water cleanup/restoration work.  This is because water damage remediation work can be too dangerous or delicate for someone without specialized training or experience to handle.

For example, a professional in water damage restoration will have the appropriate experience and tools to minimize their risks from hazards such as mold spores, weakened floors that may collapse, and exposure to fiberglass insulation – all of which are common hazards in water cleanup and restoration work.  Additionally, an expert is more likely to be able to successfully complete dry-out tasks in a way that minimizes cost and the overall damage and risk of future problems.  Trying to handle tear-out and dry-out work without the requisite and experience can lead to big problems – not the least of which is accidental injury from handling damaged building materials.
