F.A.Q
RAPID RESTORATION RECOVERY INC
Water Damage
Water restoration is a broad subject. The first thing our Rapid Restoration Recovery Inc team does is assess the water damage.
After that, we start cleaning up any standing water. Once we have done that. We start drying out your home using professional equipment. The faster we start drying out a home, the less likely it is to be affected by mold or mildew.
Once your home has been dried out, we clean it throughout and may even recommend our deodorizing service.
No. it is not always safe. It depends on how serious the situation is. Clearly, if your home is flooded badly after a storm or severe water leak, it is best to leave the home. Water can work its way into all of the nooks and crannies of your home. In a worst-case scenario, it can affect the electrical wiring in your home or business.
When you suspect a biohazard such as untreated water has entered your home, it is best to leave. Contaminated water causes serious illness.
Mold Remediation
Mold comes from everywhere. It probably existed naturally in your home in the first place.
It is easily transferred to our clothing or on our pets.
As a matter of fact, mold and mildew have many different ways of entering your home. Even for us as mold remediation professionals, it is hard to say where the mold originated from when we find it in homes and buildings.
That is a good question. If you live right on the oceanfront or shoreline, you have probably noticed mold spreads faster. That is because it is damper in the area you live. Also, if you live in and around some of the waterways in Palm Beach County, you may have noticed rapid mold growth.
The answer is that mold can spread very fast. The sooner you tackle it, the better it is.
Fire & Smoke Damage
It depends on the extent.
Most of the time, we would probably say no. If you are an employer, the last thing you want is to let your employees inhale ash and smoke. This may lead to legal problems in the future.
When you have a family, it goes without saying that you would like them to be safe. Often, if the home still smells of smoke, it is not safe to return to. A bad smell or odor is a clear indication that ash and soot are still lingering somewhere in the building.
It depends on the severity of the fire. Fortunately, deep cleaning methods and deodorizing methods are now so good the smell of the fire can be completely removed from a home.
Fire damage is not only about what you can see – it is also about what you can’t see such as the smell of smoke.
We use a range of cleaning methods to remove both fire damage and the smell of smoke from your home. Thanks to our experience, we know that you can’t completely remove the smell of smoke without the other.
New cleaning methods and products also allow us to remove the smell of smoke from soft furnishings and carpets. When you would like to know more about any of our deep cleaning services, please do not hesitate to ask.
Storm Damage
There are a few simple steps you can follow.
Installing storm shutters for windows is a great idea. When there is a threat of a storm, you can lower the shutters. Storm shutters help to reduce and prevent damage to a building. As a storm damage restoration service, we recommend having them installed.
Also, make sure you are on top of any roof repairs. Loose shingle does a lot of damage. Make sure the structural integrity of your roof and home is excellent.
If you live close to water and are worried about water damage, you should make sure you have sandbags available. Place them both inside and outside the home. Sandbags are one of the best ways of protecting your home from water inundation.
It is important that all doors and windows fit well. Get any gaps fixed when you notice them.
Cleaning up your garden or yard is another factor many forget. Trash cans and toys can be turned into dangerous flying debris. Take a look around and make sure all large trees are a safe distance from the building. Don’t forget to move all garden furniture to a safe location.
It is hard to say.
One of the first things Rapid Restoration Recovery Inc does when we visit a home or business affected by flood damage is to make a complete assessment of the situation.
We give you a free estimate and explain what we need to do. If the damage is not severe, it may only take a few days to clear it up.
But, as we already mentioned, storms can often cause damage that is not immediately visible. Water and mud often enter ducts and vents. This means the clean-up operation needs to be more extensive.
We never proceed with any work until we have inspected the property and explained what we need to do to recover the building.
General Cleaning
Both carpets and rugs act like magnets as far as dust, debris, and mold are concerned. They trap anything that falls or is threaded into them. The problem is that debris gets stuck in carpets.
Yes, you probably vacuum your carpets every week. That is great. But, every so often, carpets, rugs, and other soft furnishings benefit from deep cleaning. Once all trapped debris including mold spores has been removed, your home will not only be cleaner, it will smell better.
.
Over time, grime and grease build up in the kitchen area. Even the best-branded cleaners can’t always remove all of the build-up you find in the kitchen.
What you need is a professional cleaning service. Not only can we help you to clean all surface areas of your home. Rapid Restoration Recovery Inc offers an oven cleaning service which is second to none.
You must not forget about your vents and air ducts. When was the last time you had them cleaned?
Grease builds up in air ducts and vents. When you use the kitchen extractor system, grease and debris can be deposited in the kitchen. Needless to say, unclean air vents also make your kitchen smell bad. If you can’t get rid of the cooking, your air ducts can probably benefit from general cleaning.
Don’t forget that grease and grime in ducts and vents pose a fire hazard.
