Expert Drain Cleaning Services in Saint Louis, MO

We have some flooding going on in the south side of the city. Even if it doesn't drive you from your home it is still a good idea to call out professionals to dry your building out when it does get wet. Here are some reasons to make sure you have a certified professional do the dryout for you. 1) Not everyone knows where and how to look for water. Meters and infrared cameras can be used to track down the water and tell when it is dry. Some people who have been doing this for years use neither and don't think they are needed. 2) If you miss something it can be a bigger, more expensive problem later. We have seen walls that had enough paint on them that they had standing water inside the drywall five months after a flood in the basement. Mold always costs more than cleaning it up when it is still wet, and presents a heightened health hazard to everyone living there. 3) Sometimes by drying it out incorrectly you can make it worse. Once something is wet mold, bacteria and other fun things begin to grow in building materials. The longer the moisture is present the more they grow. We have seen basements where the carpet got wet and someone dried it out by putting fans under it. This would have been right if they had used a dehumidifier too but they raised the humidity in the basement so much that we ended up demolishing the whole basement to treat for mold. Don't let someone who isn't a professional handle water in your basement. Call us the minute you notice it is wet.
