WATER IS THE SINGLE MOST POWERFUL, destructive substance in the indoor environment. In the home or office it ruins carpeting, furniture, and fabric, seeps through and under floors, rots wood, and actually destroys the structural integrity of the building itself. Even lingering dampness can foster mold, mildew, and a plethora of unhealthy microorganism growth.
Don’t settle for anything less than help from
a Certified Water Damage Restoration Specialist!
There are big differences between ordinary carpet cleaners and Water Damage Restoration Specialists. It seems like every contractor with a pry bar and a sledgehammer as well as every guy with a shop vacuum is trying to pass themselves off as a restoration specialist these days. But REAL specialists know more than demolition and water extraction.
There’s intense training from international institutions, such as the IICRC, a non-profit organization that establishes standards for these industries and properly prepares the specialist with critical skills that imposters can only guess at. Skills like “Psychometrics”- A scientific way to figure out exactly how much drying equipment is needed to dry your building without risk of exposing you to dangerous mold or mildew growth or damaging your structure.
Shambaugh’s is the only IICRC Certified Firm in the area which means all of our technicians are IICRC Certified. We have signed and agree to adhere to the IICRC Certified Firm Code of Ethics, and are insured. Our technicians have attended an IICRC approved school, passed a written examination, received hands-on training, and are required to maintain their certifications by learning about the latest in restoration technology and techniques. You can be assured that they will provide you and your insurance company with the highest level of service. .
WHAT DOES A WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION SPECIALIST DO?
What is Secondary Water Damage?
Why can’t I just use a shop vacuum to suck it all up?
If restoration work is delayed or performed by inadequately trained people, the risk of costly secondary water damage is quite high! Secondary water damage can be hidden to the eye for weeks or months, but can continue to destroy walls, floors, and the structural integrity of a building. It can also foster microorganism growth, which is unhealthy for humans, cause many other long term health problems, and become attractive to insects and other pests. Do not attempt to clean up the water damage yourself–that may only contribute to the problem and cause further damage.
Ok, I’m convinced not to handle the water extraction myself.
What do I do now?
The IICRC recommends the following actions to minimize damage while waiting for us to arrive:
Do Not …..
I have enclosed a magnet with our phone number on it so that in case of an emergency you can call us. Please put them on your water heater, washer, or refrigerator. If you want some to give to your friends and family, just call the office and we will mail them to you. If you refer someone that uses our water damage services, we will send you a $25 gift card!
