Water is one of nature’s most powerful forces and water damage can be deceptive – especially if it finds its way into your home or business. Now in addition to the immediate concerns of minimizing loss of your personal belongings, there’s also insurance to consider and the restoration process.
At DKI - Sparklean Restorations, we understand the importance of being there to swiftly remove hazardous material and restore your home or business to its original condition. Clean-up must be done by a trained professional to ensure the safety of your structure, as well as your family’s health and well-being.
So who gets to decide what renovations are needed? DKI - Sparklean Restorations are commonly asked why restorations differ from other people who have had floods. Shouldn’t the carpet get replaced? What about the walls? The answer is that restorations differ depending on the type of flood that has resulted. When it comes to water and insurance, here’s what you need to know:
Freshwater floods are caused by spring run-off, melting snow, an overflowing river, lake or stream, or even a swimming pool.
Sewer backups occur when massive volumes of water overload a drainage system, back-flowing into your home, and introducing black mould, harmful bacteria and sewage waste into your home, creating health risks and extensive damage.
As a proud member of DKI Canada, DKI - Sparklean Restorations is also a certified firm with The Clean Trust (formerly Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration Certification). In addition to removing excess water, Clean Trust-certified restorers have the knowledge and equipment to further dry a home or facility (including substructure materials) completely back to pre-loss conditions to prevent mould and other health issue.
Clean Trust recommends that before entering a building where flood damage may have occurred, make sure it’s safe: check for electrical hazards and structural damage, and use proper protective gear like boots, gloves, and respirators. Then, follow these tips:
