Water damage can be devastating to a home or business and requires immediate attention. Water can damage your walls, flooring, furniture, and anything else it comes in contact with. It can also cause dangerous mold growth (read more about Mold). It is imperative to act quickly to get the water removed and the moisture dried out within 24-48 hours to reduce further damage.
The type of water getting into your home will determine the proper cleaning and drying method. Types of water damage include clean water from a broken water pipe or an overflowing sink, grey water which contains some degree of contamination such as that from an overflowing toilet containing urine, and black water which is extremely unsanitary and poses a significant threat to human health due to sewage or soil contamination.
Of course, preventative measures can help you to avoid water damage, but if water does get in, Sharp offers 24/7 emergency water damage restoration services. Insurance claims are also welcome. We will get the water pumped out of your home quickly, as well as get the water extracted from any soaked carpet, carpet padding, and upholstery. We may also need to remove the carpet and pad for you in order to get it dried out properly. Our powerful, truck-mounted extraction, drying, and dehumidification equipment will reduce the likelihood of further damage and mold growth. Then we will professionally clean, dry, and reinstall the carpet and padding. Please call Terry Sharp at 402-551-9949 for your water mitigation needs.
