Water Damage Restoration

When disaster strikes, it’s important to have a restoration company that can be reached with urgency. If there’s ever any kind of flood or water damage, whether caused by heavy rain, leaks, or sewer backups, time is critical. It’s particularly important for an emergency restoration team to be able to get there within the first 48 hours. That’s why at Jenkins Restoration Services our certified team of water restoration experts are available 24/7 and offers fast service without fail!

Water damage protection requires continual monitoring and regular upkeep. There are several preventative measures you can put in your maintenance plan, such as regularly cleaning debris from your gutters to prevent them from clogging, ensuring proper grading for drainage around the building foundation, performing routine checks for roof and other water leaks, and letting your faucet drip during cold months. Regularly inspecting these common sources can help keep your home or commercial property safe.

Even with careful monitoring, a water damage incident can occur suddenly and cause extensive damage. If it is left untreated or not dealt with thoroughly, additional health damages can be caused by mold in the affected areas.

Tips to Prevent Water Damage

• Clean out roof gutters – clogged gutters prevent water from draining away from the property and can result in overflow directly onto your foundation, which in turn can result in damage to the foundation and potential basement flooding.
• Keep good drainage around your home or property – water that flows towards the home can also cause damage to the foundation and result in the need for costly repairs. Drainage should be established to push the water away from the property.
• Check for water leaks – small leaks can cause big problems if they go unnoticed, so be sure to check your pipes for any leaks as part of your routine maintenance.
• Use a drain snake instead of unclogging chemicals – chemicals can eat away at pipes and cause damage over time, whereas using a drain snake is a safe and effective alternative.
• Be careful where you plant – invasive roots can cause damage to underground water lines. Always be sure you know an area is free of pipes and water lines before planting there.
• Let water drip from faucets during cold months – this can help prevent your pipes from freezing and then bursting.
