Flood Cleanup and Water Damage Restoration Services

Cleaning Up After a Flood

 

If disaster strikes, you need to act quickly and be prepared with a good response plan. Arizona Restoration Specialists provides 24/7 emergency flood cleanup in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, and the surrounding area, so you can minimize damage as much as possible. 

Properly extracting the water and drying the flooded area out quickly will greatly reduce mold growth and damage, such as rot and warping. Ideally, flood water restoration should be done within the first 48 hours of a flood.

​

How Does Flood Damage Occur?

 

Flood water damage occurs when excessive water from rain, tidal surge, or melting snow accumulates on already saturated land. 

Once the ground reaches 100 % maximum saturation, water will then begin to enter the structure from underneath the footing. This is called” hydrostatic pressure”. It can also enter though stress cracks in the foundation. Faulty gutters and or leaders can also contribute or even accelerate flooding in a basement, crawlspace, or ground-level living space. 

However, it’s not just ground water you need to worry about. During a major weather event, clogged gutters or leaky roofs/chimneys can cause significant problems to attics or interior walls, allowing mold to grow undetected for a long time. Cold winters can cause pipes to burst if wall or crawl spaces are not properly insulated.

What to Do After a Flood

 

When flooding occurs, families and businesses can be displaced until the water recedes. But when you return, it’s common to find damage to your personal belongings, furnishings, and the structure itself. From the electrical system and HVAC to the ceilings, floors, and walls, every inch of a property needs to be property inspected, dried, and repaired – your health and safety depends on it.
