WATER

Water damage is something that almost every homeowner will have to deal with at some point, and it comes from a variety of sources. Water lines and pipes my crack or break open, foundations may crack and allow access to the home by groundwater, sprinkler heads may leak causing water buildup and flooding, water heaters often fail and can flood the basement if the bottom has rusted through, not to mention problems caused by everyday items such as overflowing toilets or tubs or malfunctioning dishwasher lines and garbage disposals. Whatever the source, water damage is a problem that does not go away when ignored, nor will it get better on its own. Quite the contrary, water continues to cause damage for as long as it is allowed to remain standing and untreated. That’s where Elite Restoration comes in. 

Elite Restoration Group exists for one reason only, to help you recover and restore your property to its original condition with the help of its sponsored team at Serv Pro of Central Brevard.  Through prompt response and proactive measures we can minimize the level of damage to the home, and then begin the clean up, drying, and restoration process designed to have you back to your normal life as soon as possible. 

So what happens when you call Elite Restoration? We contact Serv Pro of Central Brevard and they send a technician out to your home as rapidly as possible, because we know time is of the essence, and we evaluate the level of the damage and locate the source of the problem. The source is addressed first, in order to prevent any more water from entering the home, and then the extraction and drying process begins.  This is exactly what it sounds  like, the removal of the water from the home, followed by the drying of all affected surfaces. The process also includes the cleaning and repair of any items that may have been damaged by the water or flooding. Some items, such as books or photos, may require specialized treatment in order to preserve them, and we have the resources and the means to protect your valuable possessions. 

The single most common byproduct of water damage is mold, which can appear in as little as 48 hours following a water damage event, spread rapidly, and pose serious threats to the health of you and your family. For this reason alone, it is important to contact a provider who can take care of the water damage to your home rapidly, yet effectively, preventing these long term problems from taking hold and inflating your initial repair bills.

MOLD

Mold is the single most common byproduct of water damage. It usually appears within 48 hours of a water or flood problem (sooner if the water damage is sewage based), spreads rapidly, and can become almost impossible to successfully remediate.  Worse, mold can present a serious health hazard to people living in the home where the infestation is located, and mold also works on destroying the surface that it grows on, which may pose a threat to the structural stability of your home or business.

Mold is a natural part of the outdoor environment, breaking down dead organic material and generally acting as natures recycling agent. Humans encounter mold and even inhale mold spores almost daily with no ill effects whatsoever. So why all the hue and cry whenever old is discovered in our homes? 

The answer is quite simple. Mold reproduces by way of spores, which float through the air until they land somewhere conducive to their growth, namely somewhere with enough moisture to support them. In outdoor environments, the spores are able to spread wide and far, and they are almost never encountered in heavy concentrations.

All that changes, however, when mold begins growing and trying to propagate in an indoor environment. Suddenly you do have mold spores in large concentrations, and any human or animal in the immediate area will find themselves inhaling large quantities of these spores. When you stop to consider what mold’s primary function is, to break down organic matter, then it becomes very easy to see exactly how mold can become a very dangerous health threat. 

Physical problems related to mold can be as minor as allergic reactions and skin irritation, or they may be as serious as respiratory issues and nerve disorders. There have even been cases of cancer that have been directly traced back to mold exposure. For this reason alone, professional, experienced mold remediation professionals should be in charge of taking care of your mold problem. 

Most people mistakenly believe that killing mold is the way to get rid of it. Actually killing mold is only the first step in the process. The area where the mold was located must be treated in order to prevent the mold from returning.  This involves cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing the area, as well as increasing the ventilation and reducing the moisture levels. By creating an environment that is hostile to mold, there is very little chance of having to deal with it again. 

Mold is nothing to sneeze at (pardon the pun), because mold left untreated can actually render a structure uninhabitable. There have been homes, businesses, and even entire city blocks condemned and torn down for no other reason than out of control mold growth. 

The mold remediation professionals at Elite Restoration Group are available to deal with your mold problem. They have the training and experience necessary to remove the mold growth in your home and then treat the area in order to prevent its return. All work is guaranteed and you can rest assured of a quality job done right.

FIRE

Nothing frightens a homeowner more than the thought of a fire.  Fires mean that your home, your possessions, indeed the whole of your very life could go up in smoke (literally) within a matter of minutes.  Much like water damage, fire damage is serious and can have long lasting consequences, and as a result it is most important to have the problem addressed and cleaned up as soon as possible. 

Fires can occur from any number of sources. Wall heaters and space heaters are common culprits during the winter months, and furnace fires are not uncommon.  Candles left unattended account for thousands of cases of fire damage every year, and even chimneys may be sources of fire if they have not been recently cleaned out. Any debris or other materials that become trapped in the chimney can easily ignite, and chimney fires can be some of the most frightening experiences for any family.

With fires, you not only have the damage that is done by the flames themselves, but you also have smoke damage, which can reach far beyond the initial damage area into other rooms of the property. There is also the problem of soot, which is easily carried by the slightest breeze and has a knack for ending up pretty much anywhere.  Then there is the method by which the fire is put out, usually water or foam, which can mix with the soot and make for a very messy scene. 

Mold is also a follower of fire damage, much the way it follows damage by water. Mold sets in during the three or four days following a fire, and can make an already unstable situation even more hazardous. This is just one more reason why it is important to call in prompt and efficient fire damage repair and restoration services.

So when your home has fire damage, what do you do? Well, for starter, don’t wait. The problem will not improve itself, and soot and smoke may have toxic fumes that could mean additional danger to you and your family. Elite Restoration Group is available and offers comprehensive fire damage restoration services with the help of Serv Pro of Central Brevard.
