Fire disasters  in homes and businesses can come from a variety of sources. Sometimes they are unfortunate accidents stemming from a storm, poor electrical wiring in the home, or a malfunctioning appliance. Fire damage also occurs from cooking and barbeque accidents.

Any damage that happens to a home or business from a fire can pose a hazard. One of the biggest and more lingering problems after a fire is smoke. Not only is the odor from smoke left behind, but the smoke itself and soot from the fire can linger and linger. The longer smoke is allowed to sit inside a property, the bigger the damage is going to be and the harder it will be to cleanup and repair.

Smoke Damage And Your Health

Smoke from a fire can pose serious health risks to you and any occupants of your home or business, including animals.

Respiratory Issues: It is really important that you are aware of your surroundings. Although it may look like there is no longer any smoke in your home, that may not be true. Your carpet and furniture could be embedded with small particles that could easily be inhaled into the lungs. Inhaling too much of this smoke could cause symptoms like coughing or wheezing and in severe cases, can lead to damage of your lungs.

Skin Damage: Smoke residue can get into your carpets, furniture and clothing pretty easily. These particles can lead to minor, or even major, skin irritation that can not be alleviated from lotion.

Eye Irritation: Watery, red, itchy eyes are a common concern caused from smoke particles lingering in your house. When the problem isn’t addressed, not only will your eyes be irritated, but more damage could be sustained.

Following water damage, it is very important to get the water removed immediately. Each water damage case should be treated as an emergency, because the longer the water sits, the more damage it causes. We at Stanley Restoration in Dallas would like to introduce the following timeline, which shows how important emergency water removal is, and why it needs to happen as soon as possible.

Immediately after water damage

Water will spread quickly; saturating every material it comes into contact with. Paper goods will begin to deteriorate very quickly once they are exposed to water, and other porous materials will begin to absorb the water.

24 hours after water damage

Materials like upholstery and carpet that have absorbed water become heavy and sodden. The breakdown of exposed materials like drywall, insulation begins because of all the swelling from the moisture. Wood will also begin to swell. Metal object will begin to tarnish, and any colors and dyes from fabrics will begin to bleed. Paper goods will no longer be salvageable. Mold growth begins in as little as 24 hours after moisture has been present.

48 hours after water damage

Mold growth has started to spread, and may even begin to be visible on surfaces. Wood will begin to warp and bend. Metal objects will begin to corrode, while other materials (drywall, insulation, carpet, carpet padding, furniture, and other textile goods) continue to deteriorate. Microorganisms can begin to grow in the water, so contamination levels become a threat.

One week after water damage

If water damage has been present for this long, restoration costs and processes are significantly increased. Water contamination levels are a huge concern, and should be handled appropriately. Few items are salvageable after being exposed to water for this long and structural damage is likely to ensue. Mold growth and other harmful bacteria are now major risks, and have likely spread to other areas of the home. Structural integrity is compromised, posing a serious threat to those still living in the area. Cracks in walls and ceilings, and buckling of floors will be apparent by this time, and will require rebuild to correct.

No matter how long your water emergency has been present, our team of experts will be able to get your home back to pre-loss condition. For thorough water damage restoration in the Dallas area, we are the only call you need to make. We start by removing and discarding carpet padding, which can act as a sponge to trap moisture. Any remaining water on the slab or sub-floor is removed, and baseboards and carpeting are treated with a hospital-grade antimicrobial agent to retard the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Turbo air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers are then strategically placed around the affected areas to maximize airflow and remove all excess moisture. Affected clothes and furniture can typically be restored to a pre-loss condition using industry-leading technology like the Esporta Wash System and Fire line Ultrasonic System.

Water damage can quickly become a nightmare for homeowners, especially because damage becomes worse as time elapses. We understand the seriousness of water damage, and offer emergency water removal services in Dallas and surrounding areas. Any time you notice water damage in your home, call Stanley Restoration to get it taken care of as quickly as possible.
