Flood Damage 101
Flood damage can happen to any property, but certain individuals are at a higher risk of flooding on their land. Older homes and homes in low-lying areas are prone to flooding. There are also many different types of floods.
Flash Flooding
Flash floods are some of the most concerning since they occur without any warning. Flash floods move fast and can sweep entire vehicles, small structures, and items away instantaneously. As a result, the damage from flash floods is often more extensive and expensive to repair.
Basements and Flooding
Unfinished basements often sustain flood damage, but even a finished basement can’t stop serious floodwaters. In a home, the basement is usually the first region to accumulate excess water. Basements are simply the closest contact with the ground’s surface and are susceptible to water seeping through the foundation touching the structure's soil. As water levels rise due to heavy rainfall, especially in a short period, the groundwater table also rises, leaching into properties through basement foundations. Adding a sump pump to your property is one way to help stay on top of rising water levels during flood season.
Plumbing Problems and Flooding
Flooding in your home doesn’t always occur because of an external source, although that is the most common factor. Serious plumbing problems can quickly flood areas of your property. Everything from burst pipes to blockages in plumbing systems can lead to these flood issues. Our flood damage repair experts at APT Water Restoration can help diagnose the source of flooding in your home. With our resources, we can eliminate water accumulation, fix plumbing issues and dry out your property fast. Call us today for a free consultation.
Hazards of Flooding
When dealing with flood damage repair, it's important to be aware of the many hazards associated with flooding. Each type and degree of flooding will pose unique hazards, so it's wise to leave cleanup efforts to the professionals to avoid any health or safety risks. Furthermore, flood damage repair efforts should begin as soon as possible to alleviate further damage to your property. APT offers a fast and reliable flood damage repair service that is here for you when you need it the most.
Health Hazards
Possibly the biggest concern after serious structural damage caused by flooding are the health risks associated with contaminated floodwaters. Floodwaters contain numerous viruses, bacteria, fungi, and human/animal waste. Therefore, biohazards of all kinds thrive in these fast-moving waters. As they enter your property, they quickly coat the surface and bring in a thin microbial film of major health hazards.
​
Contact with these items or the floodwaters themselves could lead to minor or major breathing problems, heart conditions, allergic reactions, gastrointestinal illness, or even life-threatening conditions. Therefore, it's best to avoid contact with floodwaters and leave the cleanup to the experts at APT Water Restoration.
Mold Growths
Mold growths are another major concern in the aftermath of flood damage. That is why our APT Water Restoration flood damage repair also involves thorough mold inspection and mitigation. This helps us identify possible mold developments in your property and eliminate them before they spread. Since mold loves humid, damp, and dark areas, floods create a perfect environment for mold spores to grow. We stop them in their tracks fast!
