Water Damage House Tampa Bay


If you are a homeowner, than you have dealt with some type of flooding and if you have not, there is a good chance you will sometime in the future. Water damage in the home can come from clogged pipes, broken hoses on a dishwasher or washing machines, and flooding from heavy rains just to name a few.

The removal of the water as soon as possible will reduce the amount of water damaged caused and will keep the expense to a minimum. Once the waters removed, you can begin to dry the flooded area using air dryers, fans, and dehumidifiers. The amount of water damage will depend on the amount of floodwaters and the amount of time the water has been sitting in the home. When water has been stagnant for many days, water damage and mold damage will be at its worst. Walls will be water damaged and contain enough molds to the point they will have to be removed to correct the problem and ensure the entire amount mold is removed.

In the case of floodwaters from heavy rains, calling a professional is the best route to take. Floodwater from rivers and streams may contain sewage water, which is referred to as black water and is very hazardous; it will also accelerate mold growth and will cause extensive water damage to the home. If you are dealing with a water damage house, Tampa Bay has many local contractors that can help with all of your water damage needs. Call today so we can get someone to your home right away.

Burst Water Pipes Tampa Bay


Burst water pipes are words no homeowner wants to hear and unfortunately, these things usually happen while we sleep or are away from the home so you usually feel it or see it first. Unlike some flooding that is contained in one area, a burst water pipe is going to disperse a lot of water and it will continue to flood sections of your home until the water is shutoff.

If your laundry room becomes flooded you can pretty much figure the water has come from somewhere in the laundry room, but when a pipe bursts and floods your entire home, finding the culprit may be more difficult. Fixing the pipes is now only one problem, as your home has become inundated with water and dealing with this situation needs to be started as soon as possible to avoid excess water damage to the home. Everything that happens from this point on can affect the outcome of what happens next and can make the difference in doing this process one time or having to do it again.

Tarpon springs, Tampa Bay


Flooding can occur at anytime and anywhere and it can be devastating to homes and businesses. Floodwaters do not only enter the home and cause damage to household items, but can be strong enough to take your home off its foundation. If you have encountered flooding in Tarpon Springs, you know the headache and heartache that it can cause.

The first thing you want to remember is that even though you want to get into your home and start the cleanup process, it is best to do two things first. One is to make sure the house is structurally sound before beginning any type of work and the second is to make sure the power to the home is turned off because we all know electricity and water do not mix.

When the structure is safe to enter, assess the damage then call a professional, there are many steps that need to be followed in the correct order and each step has to be done properly before moving on. If step one is not done correctly then step two could be a waste of time and when it is all said and done you will have to call a professional anyways, but the amount of damage will have grown by that time, which will more than likely mean a bigger bill.

From taking out carpets and having them cleaned, disinfected, sanitized, and then cleaned again before reinstalling them to removing mold-covered drywall, a professional can make sure the job is done right the first time and that your house can once again be as beautiful as it was.
