Frequently Asked Questions
You will find answers to all of your most common restoration related questions located here.
What is the most common source of water damage?
Broken pipes are a small hole in a pipe that goes unsuspected.
What are the risks associated with water damage and how can you avoid them?
Sometimes people leave it too long before significant water damage can be repaired. You run the risk of secondary damage if you leave it too long. Water damage should be dealt with immediately, especially if it's a sudden burst pipe. It is important to remove the wet material and dry the area, as it can cause further damage that could not have been avoided.
Is a water damage company required to be licensed?
According to CSLB any contract work exceeding $500 that involves the altering or construction of any building (home or commercial) must be licensed by the California State License Board. Water damage usually involves drying and removing building materials. This requires extensive knowledge. A licensed water damage contractor is the best choice, as water damage restoration is a specialist trade. We are licensed contractors with expertise in water damage and can deal with adjusters and insurance companies. With proper licensing and insurance, we are able to help our clients navigate the insurance claims process.
Can I stay home during a water damage restoration process?
It all depends on what kind of water you have and the extent of damage to your home. You can dry out and restore your property without compromising the safety of you and your family. You can achieve this by using drying chambers made with 6 mil polyurethane, tension posts, and HEPA-negative air machines/Air scrubbers.
What are the dangers from mold?
Some mold species can produce harmful substances known as mycotoxins. These toxic substances are more likely to cause serious health problems. Mold can cause asthmatic symptoms, as well as respiratory problems, in people who have been exposed. Mold can also indicate a bigger problem. Mold can also be a sign of a larger problem if a pipe is leaking in your home or office.
It is not enough to kill mold or dry it out. Mold should only be removed by professionals, since even dead mold can cause illness. Mold must be removed from your property as soon as possible to minimize the risks to employees and residents, particularly those suffering from allergies or breathing problems.

This is the removal and/or cleaning up of mold in an indoor environment such as a house or business.
