Yes! M.A. Restoration is a full-service restoration contractor located in Worcester County and we provide complete reconstruction services to help you repair and rebuild after a water damage loss.
There is always a risk of mold growth after a water damage loss. By working with a professional water damage restoration company in the Worcester area your property will be dried quickly and thoroughly, reducing the risk of a mold problem.
It is not unusual for homeowners to remain in their homes while water damage restoration is completed, but it often depends on the extent of the damage, the areas affected, and your personal preferences. If the water damage has rendered your kitchen or only bathroom inoperable, temporary relocation may be your best option. Fans and other equipment will need to run around-the-clock in the affected area, and these can be loud and disruptive. We will let you know what to expect when we restore your Worcester area property so you can make an informed decision that will work best for you.
If it is safe to do so, you may remove items from an area with water damage to prevent damage to those items. Never enter an area where there is contaminated water, standing water, or electrical hazards. When in doubt, leave the job to the professionals. Large furniture items may be too heavy to move, but you can place aluminum foil or plastic containers under the feet to prevent water from wicking up the legs. When our team arrives, we will coordinate and remove all items that are under threat from water damage to a safe area.
Call in a professional for help right away! If your ceiling is not in imminent damage of collapse and you can do so safely, you can poke a small hole at the lowest point and drain the water into a large container. Turn off all lights and ceiling fans and always proceed with extreme caution.
Sometimes a foundation leak or plumbing leak can go unnoticed for a long time before you begin to see signs of water damage. You may notice a muggy feeling or musty odor in an area with a leak, or begin to see discoloration on the walls or ceiling. If you suspect a leak but have been unable to confirm or locate a water source, give us a call. We have advanced moisture detection equipment to track down the leak and extent of the water damage it may have caused.
If the water damage is caused by a clean water source and is addressed quickly, it may be possible to save your flooring. The longer the water sits, the greater the chance that permanent damage or mold growth becomes a concern. Wood floors are especially susceptible to water damage and may need replaced if cupping or bowing occurs. But if the water is removed and humidity levels get under control quickly, the damage can often be mitigated.
Your insurance may cover specific types of water damage losses, but policies may vary. If your home or business in the Worcester area has suffered water damage, you should call in a professional water damage restoration company like M.A. Restoration as soon as possible to protect your property from further losses. After an initial assessment, we can provide an estimate so you can determine if you want to file an insurance claim.
