Water damage is a large part of our business and requires specialized training to prevent secondary damage of both structure and contents.
In a water damage claim, rapid response is critical. Most insurance policies require property owners to take necessary steps to prevent the damage from spreading. There are at least four progressive stages of indoor water damage.
Water migrates into areas not originally affected by the original water intrusion. Water will spread laterally into adjoining rooms, penetrates material below and wicks up into porous materials above.
Saturated materials begin swelling as they absorb moisture. In many situations drying and restoration procedures, if started soon enough, will restore them to their original condition. It takes an experienced water damage specialist to find all the areas where water may have migrated to and prevent future hidden damage. PPM Insurance Restoration & Cleaning Service has the high velocity fans and commercial dehumidifiers needed to dry out a structure quickly and prevent secondary damage.
As water evaporates in a building it causes abnormal humidity conditions which can contribute to rapid mold growth. High humidity conditions need to be reduced quickly. After water intrusion, mould spores can germinate and multiply rapidly. Given acceptable growth conditions, one organism can multiply to more than one billion organisms in 24 hours. Time is of the essence in water damage claims. That's why PPM Insurance Restoration & Cleaning Service is on call 24/7 365 days of the year.
A PPM Insurance Restoration & Cleaning Service estimator (sometimes with an insurance adjuster) will arrive to scope the damage. The estimator will prepare an estimate to return your property to its pre-loss condition. Once the estimate has been approved by the insurance company the repair work can be scheduled and completed.
