Trying to fix the problem on your own is like inviting more trouble. It is not ‘just water,’ it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Any water that is left behind will lead your structures through stages of gradual degradation, not to mention the formation of mold along the way which is a biohazard to people with respiratory disorders. You may think you are saving money by doing it on your own, but what you are really doing is escalating the problem that could have been mitigated by a professional. Are you trained to handle contaminated water or prepared to deal with threat of electrocution in case of exposed wires in flooding incidents? We think not. There is a protocol that is followed for safe removal of water, a lot of effort goes into complete drying of your property and then sanitization and restoration is a completely different ballgame that needs experts all the way!
