PuroClean Restoration Professionals It is a difficult thing to see a water intrusion in your property. Regardless, if it is from a broken pipe, overground flooding or wind-driven rain. Knowing how to properly navigate a water loss is crucial in keeping the cost down, saving valuable materials, the length time to repair, and to prevent the secondary loss, such as mold down. Here are some valuable tips to help.
When you have water in your property the very first thing you should do is call a CERTIFIED RESTORATION COMPANY. Not using a certified company can cost you thousands of dollars out of pocket. Working with a Certified company through the IICRC can ensure the water mitigation and dry out is handled effectively and thoroughly.
Failure to use a certified company can often result in further damage to your property. A certified technician is trained to know how much equipment to set up, how to appropriately place the equipment, what materials are wet and not, and when applicable, how to save materials in the property. In addition, a certified tech knows when it is appropriate to remove or add equipment. Did you know on average it takes 72 hours to thoroughly dry out a water damaged structure, with commercial equipment running 72 hours a day? The second advantage of working with a certified company is the ability to work directly with your insurance company should you have the need to file a claim.
Speaking of insurance companies. Did you know your insurance company can not dictate to you who hire to work on your property? Regardless, of the type of property, it is. Your home, business, boat, or car. You pay the insurance premium, and therefore you can work with whomever you chose. Your insurance company can give you a list of a few vendors, as possible companies to call. However, you can choose from that list, or find a certified company on your own. This in no way affects your claim.
When it comes to most property insurance claims, the insurance company requires you to get an estimate. However, when it comes to emergency water loss when there is standing water in your home. IT is the ONLY time, an estimate is not required. In fact, the insurance company prefers you call a certified company and begin the drying out process immediately. The reward for starting the drying out process, is often materials can be saved, secondary losses such as mold are often avoided, and the cost of the mitigation is less for you and/ or your insurance company. Therefore, you want to get started as soon as possible.
- USE ONLY AN IICRC CERTIFIED RESTORATION COMPANY
- EMERGENCY WATER LOSS MITIGATION DOES NOT REQUIRE AN ESTIMATE PRIOR TO BEGINING THE DRYING OUT OF YOUR PROPERTY.
- YOU GET TO CHOSE WHO YOU USE TO WORK ON YOUR PROPERTY.
