During freezing weather, many Texas homeowners may face the need for water damage restoration caused by frozen pipes bursts. Damage from frozen water pipes may be significant depending on the damage extent. The process of cleaning up and water damage repair is extremely important because of the risks that flooding presents. You should take control of the moisture level and the risk of mold growth. Frozen pipes in house may cause damage to walls and flooring, furniture and other personal belongings. Basically, any part of your home can be significantly damaged by freezing water pipes.
Chances are that other homeowners in your area are also suffering from frozen pipes issues, so you may face delays when reaching out to water damage restoration companies. In the meantime, while you’re waiting for your water damage repair, you should begin thawing frozen pipes or removing moisture if the frozen pipes already burst.
Items that have soaked in water and cannot be restored should be thrown away. These may include mattresses, carpeting, toys, food items, drywall and insulation.
Opening windows can begin to dry the air in your home, but professional water damage restoration companies use industrial-size dryers and dehumidifiers that allow to speed up the water damage restoration process.
It would be a good idea to have a look at your homeowner’s insurance policy prior to contacting water damage repair companies to check if your insurance covers the professional restoration and drying process.
The hardest thing to deal with is walls and flooring. If the surface can be dried quickly and thoroughly, the only way to deal with the sub material is to remove and discharge it. For instance, drywall that absorbed a lot of water tends to warp and bulge. The only way is to cut out the damaged area and replace and patch it with brand new insulation and drywall. Regarding flooring, a covering material might be removed to allow the below material to dry thoroughly too. Extensive damage might require replacing subflooring and will result in a more expensive water damage repair.
Patience is your key to success through the process of water damage repair. Depending on the extent of water damage, water damage restoration can take some significant time to thoroughly dry your home's structure. Moreover, it’s important to remember that only when everything is completely dried you may start replacing drywall, carpets, and floor coverings.
