Flood Damage and the Benefits of Timely Response
A flood can be devastating to the interior and structural integrity of your home. Water damage requires lightning fast attention and extensive cleanup. There are many ways in which water can enter your home.
Mother nature, HVAC problems, or a broken pipe are all frequent contributors to a flood inside the home. No matter how it happens or where you live, it’s imperative to get it cleaned up… and fast.
Structural and Interior Damage
Many coastal homes that face flooding are often irreparable, as we saw in Cocoa Beach during Irma in 2017. Depending on the intensity of the rushing water, the damages can be severe, and it’s a safety hazard for cleanup crews to head in to quickly eliminate water.
However, this is not the case in every flood occurrence. Many times, especially inland, flooding is the result of something that has gone wrong in the home. When flood water sits, or rushes, beams, walls and flooring begin to lose their structural integrity. Carpets and furniture are destroyed in the process.
If flood water rushes fast enough or sits for a very long period, you will start to see damage to the foundation of the home as well. Flood waters in the greater Orlando area cause thousands of dollars in damage every year, in many cases because the water is not cleaned up quickly enough.
A Fast Cleanup Is Imperative
We cannot stress enough how important it is to get your home cleaned up as quickly as possible. Acting fast will not only save your belongings, but the interior of your home as well. It will also reduce the chances of having to call us in for mold cleanup in the future!

LGR dehumidifiers, wall cavity dryers, axial air movers and HEPA air scrubbers are all major players in the dry out process, making DryTech number one in thoroughness and efficiency. Not to mention, every step will be carefully monitored by a technician.
