Water Damage
Water damage is a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately. Left untreated, water damage can cause wood to rot and metal items to rust. It can also create structural problems in buildings and lead to mold growth which poses health issues.
When a home or business is experiencing water damage, it is important to call an experienced restoration company right away. Licensed professionals will use state of the art equipment to extract the excess water and dry affected areas. They will also take steps to prevent further damage from occurring and help the property regain its original condition.
Colorado is prone to severe weather including strong winds, heavy rains, hail, and tornadoes that can cause roof damage and flooding. Restoration teams can help with the repair of these damages as well as provide professional roof tarping and board up services. If necessary, they can also perform mold remediation. This is done in accordance with the IICRC standards of care for mold remediation.
Mold Remediation
Mold is a serious problem that can be caused by even small amounts of water damage. It grows wherever there is excess moisture, and can spread quickly if the situation is not addressed immediately.
A primary sign of a potential mold problem is the presence of a musty, earthy odor. While it may be difficult to detect in walls and behind wallpaper, this telltale odor can be a good indicator that it’s time to call in the professionals for a mold inspection.
Once airborne, mold spores can cause a variety of health problems in those who are exposed to them, especially those with allergies, asthma and compromised immune systems. Some of these symptoms include throat, skin and eye irritation, sneezing and difficulty breathing. Taking immediate action to correct a mold problem can help prevent further damages and protect the well-being of your family or employees. Clearance testing after mold remediation can help ensure the issue has been completely resolved.
Roof Tarping
When storms damage roofs, they often leave behind exposed areas that leak and threaten the structure of the home. If the roof is not repaired as soon as possible, this can lead to wood rot and mold infestations that will require tens of thousands of dollars in repairs.
Emergency tarping is the best way to protect your home from water damage until you can get a roof repair company to start work. However, it’s a job best left to professionals. To do it yourself, use a ladder to access the damaged area and recruit a friend for support. Make sure you have the proper safety equipment, including gloves, goggles and slip-free footwear.
The cost of a roof tarp starts at $0.70 to $2.00 per square foot, on average. This price includes the tarp and job supplies. Prices increase based on the size of the roof and whether it is one- or two-story. Also, extra charges may apply for extensive debris removal before tarping.
Board-Up
After fire, storm damage, structural issues or other catastrophes that leave doors and windows open, board-up services are necessary. These repairs are designed to keep out weather, wildlife, and vandalism while the property owner arranges to have the door or window replaced.
Severe Storm Damage
Storms can shatter windows, rip off roof shingles or cause other structural problems. Emergency boarding and tarping help insulate the building and protect it until permanent repairs can be made.
Prevents Vandalism
Vacant buildings and foreclosed properties left without windows are vulnerable to theft and vandalism. Boarding up these areas helps preserve the property until it is sold or occupied, and it also deters potential vandals from entering the premises in the first place. This is a cost-effective preventative measure that often pays for itself in the long run. We provide emergency board-up and tarping services for homes and businesses in Denver CO.
