(Newswire.net — September 17, 2013) Colorado Springs, Colorado — A Colorado Springs company is offering free water damage inspections to area homeowners. Extreme Clean Carpet and Upholstery, Inc is giving the free inspections to help homeowners identify if their home has been damaged by the recent record rainfall.
The recent area rains are creating mass water damage problems to area homes. The entire region is in a state of emergency. As much as seven inches of rain have fallen in a twenty-four hour period, which devours the all time record in the city.
When water enters a home from the ground or roof, it’s cause for major concern. Damage can be minimized through proper water damage restoration procedures. This can entail removing sheetrock and insulation. Treating the wood structure of the home with anti-microbial is often required. Most importantly, the home should be dried with dehumidification equipment designed to pull moisture out of the remaining walls and wood structure.
The torrential rains have demolished hundreds of homes. While thousands more in the Colorado Springs area are subject to water damage problems. These heavy rains can cause ground water flooding to enter a home. Even the smallest amount of water rising into a home can cause immense damage. This water can bring on bacteria and mold growth in a matter or days. In addition, roof leaks allow rain to seep into the attic and walls, which can also cause mold problems.
Homeowners who have been affected by the rains should have a moisture inspection performed in their home. Most often, you can’t tell a home has water damage by sight or feel. Professional water damage restoration technicians find hidden moisture inside walls, ceiling, cabinets, and sub-floors using special moisture meters or thermal imaging cameras. Unseen moisture, left un-found, can cause thousands of dollars in additional damage.
Annalise Striedieck, of Extreme Clean Carpet and Upholstery, Inc, said, “When dealing with water damage, the first step we always take is doing a proper moisture inspection. Once the inspection is done, we know how much of a water damage problem we are dealing with. If we went only by the water we saw, we’d never find all the moisture. But using state-of-the-art professional water damage moisture inspection equipment, we know precisely what we need to do to dry the home and prevent further damage.
