Minimizing Water Damage at Your West End Apartment Complex

10/12/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage is one of the most common natural disasters to occur. Living in an area prone to heavy rains doubles your chances of experiencing water damage to your apartment complex. While water damage differs depending on the situation, the end result is recovering from the financial and emotional impact that a natural disaster has in your world. Prevention is always the first step, but sometimes, no matter how much you prepare, a natural disaster has a way of throwing a curveball into your plans. If this happens, the only restoration company that should come to mind is SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville. We have the training and qualifications to make your water damage scenario "Like it never even happened!"

How Can You Reduce Your Chances Of Experiencing Water Damage From Sewage Backup?

• This piece of advice may be simple, but it is often ignored: don't flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet! Even if the product's packaging says the item is flushable, it's better to be safe than to experience a sewage backup. 
• Throw away or, better yet, compost food items instead of shoving them through the food waste disposer. That way, you're reducing your chances of a sewage backup, and if you compost, you are also practicing sustainable habits. 
• Plan ahead when you see a small leak because a minor leak can become a major problem very quickly! Don't give in to procrastination when you see water dripping from your faucet. 

What Should You Know About Mold After Flooding?

• Mold is everywhere- indoors and outdoors. But don't let that scare you just yet! You shouldn't believe every ad you see on mold removal because removing mold completely isn't even possible; however, mold can be remediated with the right tools and restoration experts. 
• If you smell a strong, musty odor about 24-48 hours after your West End apartment complex has been flooded, you may have encountered mold! 
• Before the mold remediation process can begin, we must address all water sources from the get-go since mold spores thrive on moisture.
