Water Removal and Water Extraction Services

If you notice water damage in your home or business, immediate action is crucial. The longer you wait the more likely the damage is to spread. Water damage is an incredibly common occurrence for the average home and business owner.

In fact, 14,000 people on a daily basis experience it and the annual cost of water removal exceeds $13 billion. If your home or business has a basement the odds of it experiencing water damage are extremely common. It is estimated that 98% of basements in the United States will experience water damage in their lifetime.

Water removal and restoration is the only solution that can help your home or business from experiencing further damage. At United Water Restoration, we understand that this may be a challenge you’ve never faced. The best way to prepare is to educate yourself, ideally before an emergency.

The water extraction process can be tricky and it may be something new to you. That is why we would like to discuss water removal and give you a better understanding on this topic.

Recognizing Water Damage

Recognizing water damage is the first step to protecting your home or business from further damage. It can be easy to dismiss a puddle as a simple issue in your home or business. However, it could be something that causes far more damage in the long run. Especially if the issue is caused by a leak, which can grow overtime.

Recognizing water damage is important as it isn’t always visible to the naked eye. Sometimes it can come in the form of an increased utility bill caused by a leaking pipe. These issues are best examined by water removal companies to prevent further damage. 

Currently, United Water Restoration offers a convenient water loss remote visual inspection that can be done over the phone. This test is a great way for us to easily recognize a water leak without even needing to visit your home or business. 

Asides from an obvious water spot on the floor, there are several other ways to recognize water damage in your home or business. Where the eyes can’t tell, your nose may be able to smell. If you enter a room and smell a suspicious moldy, damp smell, this is a great indication of hidden water damage. If you find that your ceiling has become spotted or stained, this is another indication that there is water damage in your home or business.
