Calling the professionals at Absolute Restoration when you experience water damage is vital. Attempting to do the work yourself can wind up being very expensive for the following reasons:

Mistakes are Costly: Many insurance policies won’t cover accidental damages to any property caused by amateur DIY restoration efforts. As a general rule of thumb, if the damage caused by moisture is extreme enough to necessitate an insurance claim, then a professional service needs to be contracted to handle the dry out and repair processes.
Hidden Damage is Costly: Water has the ability to seep into places you’d never suspect, such as under floors and inside of walls. It can also soak into hard surfaces such as wood. Without the proper tools and training to find where hidden damage may lurk, damages can become worse and result in possible out of pocket costs.

Health Hazards are Costly: The longer water sets, the more contaminated it becomes. Even a fresh water damage starts to become polluted as soon as it becomes stagnant. And water from sewage and floods is severely unsanitary and can cause serious harm and, in some cases, illness if ingested and/or inhaled, resulting in steep doctor bills, pricey hospital stays, a loss of work, expensive medicine, or it may even cost you your life.

But peace of mind is priceless.

Happiness comes from knowing that you’ve done everything that’s within your power to remedy a serious situation once you’ve hired the professionals at Absolute!

Don’t Let Water Damage Happen to You!

Here are six easy tips to help you prevent water damage:

1. Clean gutters and downspouts

Clean your gutters at least twice a year to avoid blockage and ice dams. A clogged gutter can send water spilling into your home’s foundation, through the roof, or down to your basement, causing serious water damage! Standing water can also damage your gutters and roof. Make sure water easily flows through your downspouts and point them away from the house.

2. Watch where you plant

Some plants and trees have invasive roots that can wrap around your pipes and break them. So, reduce landscaping near water lines and, if necessary, remove trees and bushes that have gotten too big.

3. Know your water main

Be aware of its location and know how to shut if off if a pipe bursts in your home or business.

4. Check for leaks

Do this regularly and fix any immediately. If you don’t, you may experience mold, mildew, dry rot, and even structural damage

5. Replace washing machine hoses

Old and stiff washing machine hoses that fail are one of the most frequent causes of water damage. Replace them with stainless steel hoses to decrease the risk of breaking

6. Keep an eye on your water bill

If your usage starts to creep up or suddenly jumps without explanation, it’s a pretty good sign that you’ve got a leak somewhere.
