DO YOU HAVE WATER DAMAGE AND NEED HELP?
Consider Professional Restoration
All it takes is a storm, flood or plumbing issue to turn an otherwise ordinary day into a “day of infamy”, to borrow from FDR. That’s what finding water in your property does and it is important to know what to do and who to call. Action Extraction restoration professionals have specialized in removing unwanted water, cleaning up the mess and structurally drying homes for over 30 years. In this time we have learned that getting professional help for water damage isn’t as easy for some as others.
THERE IS THE DO-IT-YOURSELFER: These individuals are resourceful and consider attempting the cleanup themselves. The wet area requiring attention may not be large and they don’t mind working hard for that wholesome sense of accomplishment. They have some extra time on their hands and they have a history of being rewarded in the past, having tackled other projects solo.
THERE IS THE “I’LL JUST WAIT TILL TOMORROW” INDIVIDUAL: These people are not ready to except the severity of the moment and are willing to let matters lie till the next day. The hope is tomorrow will avail them with a greater measure of clarity, but until then, the mess remains.
There are other attitudes we could consider as well such as, “It’s not that bad, I’ll just turn on a fan to dry the carpet”, “I don’t have the funds for professional restoration”, and the one that is like a theme you might see in a a sitcom. “I just rent, and this is a great way to negotiate several months of free rent”. This is a real thing believe it or not.
All these exist because getting professional help for water damage can be daunting. There is the fear of choosing the wrong company, strangers in the home and the ultimate fear that mold growth has already started and concerns that homeowners insurance will deny the claim.

Professional Help for Water Restoration vs Do-it-Yourself
Once water damage is discovered it is important to know your abilities and your limitations. Only a few inches of water can create a serious water damage threat to your home or business. Many have the ability to take on the duty of a small water cleanup, when a minor area of wet carpet may need extraction. However, getting professional help is critical when your property has a major flood.
If a sink is left running and overflows for several hours the degree of water damage may be so large scale as to be beyond the scope of a do-it-yourself-cleanup. There are limitations that even the most resourceful individual will concede when they come home to a completely flooded basement or water pouring out of an overhead ceiling. In these situations even the most industrious and enterprising, recognize the need for professional help for water damage.
4 Things to Look for When Getting Professional Help
1) Do they Provide 24/7 Emergency Service?
When your home or business needs emergency service to remove water and restore property you need a contractor that is available when you need help. If they say tomorrow, look for one that is available today. Acting within the first 24 hours is critical to save your possessions and avoid further damage from wood rot, mold, and bacteria.
Studies show wet drywall left untreated for 48 hours manifested evidence of mold growth. Delaying an emergency response when materials are wet is never a good idea. This can lead to mold growth, germ amplification and many health risks when left untreated. Don’t let your flood issue become a respiratory problem for you and your occupants when quick service can maintain a safe and sanitary environment.
2) Are They an IICRC Certified Firm?
In order to become certified, the service technician must undergo the successful completion of stringent education in the property restoration industry. To be a certified firm means each employee is individually certified and your company has been recognized for a standard of excellence, having been vetted and found compliant in multiple disciplines.
When you choose to get professional help for water damage from a certified firm you are assured a company that has been proven to be educated, insured and is continuing in on going education. An IICRC-certified firm subscribes to the industry’s best practices, so by hiring one, the homeowner has taken some of the risk and guesswork out of the situation. This should instill confidence!
3) Are They a Highly Rated Restoration Contractor?
Today with multiple social media platforms such as Google, Yelp and Yellow Pages people can easily see what others are saying about a particular company they may be considering for home service. Choosing one that is 4.5 or 5-star rated means on several media outlets individuals have found them to be courteous and professional. Well written and detailed stories of a companies committement to excellence and doing their job right can only add to the decision to hire them.
Conversely if a company has bad reviews you know to stay away even if their price is good. It’s probably cheaper because they don’t invest in being the type of company others would recognize as a cut above.
4) Do They Specialize in Insurance Repair?
Navigating the insurance claims process can be a challenging experience especially if it is uncharted territory and you are not familiar with insurance claims. First you will need to answer the question, “does my homeowners insurance cover water damage?” You will need an expert to know how to read the policies documents to get the correct answer. Asking your insurance carrier if you are covered may not get you the truth and could even get a firm, NO!
Even when coverage exist, studies have shown, insurance companies initially will lie in hopes you will just move on. According to the American Center for Justice through court depositions and former employees some of the biggest insurance firms instruct their employees to lie, forge documents and place the shareholders over the policy holders.
Flood damage claims are different than auto claims and having the attributes of experience and success are invaluable. Making sure the professional restoration firm is an insurance repairs expert means they will know how to document the claim, take the correct pictures and has purchased the same software for billing the insurance carrier requires.
