Frequently Asked Questions
How long does water damage restoration take?
It can take about 72 hours for water damage to completely dry, but a water damage restoration technician is available 24/7 and can arrive at your home within an hour.
Will a dehumidifier remove standing water?
Extraction is the best method to remove standing water. Dehumidifiers are used to address high moisture content in the atmosphere (air). They should typically be used in conjunction with airmovers (fans).
Should you replace drywall if it gets wet?
Drywall can be effectively dried even if it gets wet. As long as the source of loss is sanitary, a water restoration company can utilize airmovers to cause evaporation of water in the drywall and dehumidifiers to remove water from the atmosphere.
What happens when water gets in your walls?
Water in wall cavities needs to be dried out by a water restoration company like Jenkins Restorations. Our approach is to detach baseboard and drill holes in the drywall to give access to the wall cavity.
What kills mold on drywall?
Mold growth on drywall cannot be effectively killed. Because drywall is highly porous it should be removed if it has mold growth.
How do you dry out a water damaged floor?
It depends on the type of flooring. Carpet and pad can be extracted and dried with airmovers and dehumidifiers. Real hardwood flooring can be dried using floor mats that draw air from in between the strips of hardwood. Other flooring types like laminate and vinyl may need to be replaced.
