When seconds count, being FASTER matters.

Of all the disasters that could impact a business in North Collin County, TX, water damage is among the most common scenarios. It includes situations such as flooding, a leaking roof, a major storm, a sewage backup and more. Even seemingly innocuous clean water has a corrosive affect on materials and if left untreated can cause extensive damage. Dirty water from sewage pipes or flooding can be even more harmful and could have a deleterious effect on human health. In all instances, the services of a local water mitigation company are invaluable.
The Importance of a Fast Response
The saying "Faster to Any Size Disaster" defines our team and exemplifies the urgency necessary in an emergency. A rapid response that brings trained technicians to the site in less than four hours is the best way to limit damage caused by water. Some or all of the following steps may be needed to take care of the situation:
- Inspection and damage assessment
- Board-up or tarp services for security and to prevent further damage
- Water removal or extraction
- Mold remediation
- Professional drying
- Cleaning and sanitizing
Water can damage materials in as little as two days. The growth of mold can begin in a similar time frame and begin to spread into damp areas of the building. If broken pipes cause raw sewage to be present, this requires the removal of the dirty water to protect human health.
The Value of a Comprehensive Water Cleanup
To return the commercial property to its original condition, all steps in the cleanup process must be completed. Water damage can continue to produce negative effects if moisture remains behind walls and under floors. Odors can remain if the cleaning and sanitizing treatments did not follow the standards in place for professional restoration. It is especially important to remain vigilant concerning mold growth. A comprehensive and professional cleanup ensures the building is safe for workers and employees.
