The damage caused by flood water does more
problems than other kinds of water damage repair. Despite of the grey water caused by broken
plumbing, this is more sanitary. It can even be classified as the black water,
the same category as sewage. The flood water does not stay in just one or two
room but it runs on all over the floor.
Basic Tips
First of all you need to remove the item which
can be damaged by the flood water. From pictures to picture frames. Any media
devise, books and any other item that can be affected. You should look for the
cheaper substitute of these items rather than look for rep as this will be much
cheaper and safer.
Next you should remove the water standing on
the floor. There will be much water to remove and this cannot be dry out with
the mop.
Consider using the HEPA vacuum or using some
sort of handle pump. Try not to use any electrical item at this moment the
wiring of the house is already suffering from the water damage. You should use
a water powered sump pump or battery powered.
The ideal solution would be the water power
sump pump, since the suction mechanism gets the force when you connect this to
a garden hose water valve. These tricks will help you to remove water
from your house, and you will be left with less than 1/8" of water which
will be easier for mop.
Drying
the Rooms
Your next stop would be room drying task. This should be dried with high velocity
air dryer. You will need to keep the humidity level under 50 percent which can
be measured with the humidity meter. While dehumidifier and dryers are running it
would be better to bring the industrial grade purifier in order to remove any
microorganisms which are born due to and will be circulating due to the movers.
The process of room drying is not just removing
water but you will need to take care of for the mold and mildew.
Wash the rooms with a solution of 25% bleach
to water once all of the room surfaces are dried, and then wipe them by using
the clear water. Once it is done cover the water stains from the walls and
floors with the help of primer and then applies matching paint.
