Water Damage Restoration

Your Water Damage experts

When you experience water in your home or business it can be overwhelming and frustrating, but don't worry our team of experts are here for you.

Water damage can range from a small sink overflow, broken pipe or sump pump failure to a devastating storm that brings major flooding. Regardless of how the damage occurs, it can create serious problems for your home or business.

An immediate response is imperative. Don’t be deceived by how things look or feel to the touch. Water can penetrate deep into your floors and walls giving the appearance of a dry surface, when down deep it is actually causing damage.

Undetected moisture will continue to cause damage. Beginning structural drying as soon as possible will help reduce possible reconstruction costs and secondary damage.

Professional Dryers

The Right Equipment

Sewer Backups

Sewer backups can be extremely dangerous. Besides a possible unpleasant odor, sewage backups may cause property damage and unhealthy living conditions. Untreated sewage contains disease-causing organisms such as parasites, viruses, and bacteria. Skin infections, respiratory infections, and allergic reactions can also be associated with these organisms.

Peerless technicians are protected against the threat of infectious diseases through vaccinations and the use of personal protective equipment. They have been specifically trained, based on OSHA standards, on how to properly work and restore in these types of infected areas.

Things You Can Do

There are certainly times you need to hire a professional to provide services beyond your capabilities or area of expertise. Anytime you hire a professional, the cost can be a factor in your decision-making process. Here is a list of items you can start to work on yourself while waiting for your technicians to arrive. These items can not only save you dollars but can help salvage your contents and lessen damage to your structure.

     1.    Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting.

     2.    Wipe excess water from furniture or fixtures after removing lamps and tabletop items.

     3.    Remove and prop up wet upholstery cushions for even drying.

     4.    Place aluminum foil between furniture legs and wet carpet.
