As homeowners return to their flood-impacted homes, several crucial steps must be taken to ensure safety and effective restoration. First and foremost, it is essential to confirm that it is safe to enter your home. Look for structural damage and be cautious of potential hazards like electrical issues or gas leaks. Once it is safe, document the damage extensively with photos and videos, and contact your insurance provider immediately to start the claims process. It is important to call in professionals, like us at Roots Water Restoration, as soon as possible to mitigate further damage and begin the restoration process. Our expertise and specialized equipment are essential in effectively addressing the aftermath of a flood.

The water that infiltrates homes during such events is classified as category 3 water, also known as "dirty water." This poses significant health risks as it contains harmful contaminants. Effective restoration goes beyond mere water removal and drying; it also involves preventing mold growth, which can lead to further health complications and structural damage. At Roots Water Restoration, we are IICRC-certified, ensuring that we adhere to the highest standards of quality in all our restoration efforts. Our specialized equipment and skilled team are dedicated to delivering the best results for our neighbors, ensuring your home is safe and secure.
