Our first priority is helping you avoid costly repairs or replacement of furnishings, structural materials, and flooring after water damage, even before the water removal process begins. As a home or business owner, at first look, trying to evaluate flood damage can be distressing. Our technicians are trained on assessing damage to interior furnishings as well as building components. The key to responding to water damage is quick response and proper treatment.
Water Damage Repair
Water damage repair begins by stabilizing the affected area and preventing it from further damaging the surrounding areas. Containing the water damage provides more options for restoration. OFFICIAL RESTORATION has effectively restored contents from furniture to appliances to art. Ventilating wet areas, accelerating drying by turning on air conditioning in the summer and alternating open windows and heat in the winter will help in preparing the area and curtailing the extent of the damage.
Flood Clean Up Experts
Floods can cause damage to floors, walls, rugs and personal belongings. After a flood, it is important to clean and dry affected items as quickly as possible to prevent mold growth. If flood waters contain sewage, it is important to disinfect contaminated items and to keep yourself from coming into contact with the sewage while you clean.
Flood water can make the air in your home unhealthy. This is because when things get wet for more than 2 days they usually get moldy. There may also be germs and bugs in your home after a flood.

Water Damage & Mold Prevention
During a flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood.
