If a disaster occurs on your property, it will most likely be considered a disaster. However, we see a lot of people wait before calling a disaster restoration company. Waiting can cause your property to accrue even more damages. Below, Hawaii Disaster Restoration will discuss five times you should contact a disaster cleanup company immediately.
Fires
A fire is always considered a disaster emergency. Fires are devastating and can rip through properties, leaving a wide range of damages in their path. If you have a fire on your property, you will want to call a disaster restoration company as soon as the fire department clears your property. Once it is clear, a company like Hawaii Disaster Restoration will come in and begin the fire damage restoration process.
Flash Flooding
Flash flooding can occur from fast-moving storms. If flash flooding happens and your home becomes flooded, it is an emergency. Water spreads fast and can cause major damages to your property, including rot and mold.
Storm Damages
Severe weather can cause wind, hail, rain damages to your property. If a limb falls on your home, water will pour into your property, leaving ruin. A disaster restoration company can come in and tarp off the area, ensuring no water will continue to damage your home. They then will be able to start water damage restoration.
Sewage
Sewage is dangerous and always an emergency. Even clear sewage can contain viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Whether the sewage is inside or outside your home, call a professional for safe sewage removal and disinfecting.
Hazardous Materials
If you have hazardous materials on your property, it is an emergency. Many homes have hazardous materials, but some are more dangerous than others. Calling a professional hazardous materials removal company is crucial. They will be able to determine if the hazardous materials are of immediate damage to you and your family.
If any of the above disasters occur on your property, contact a disaster restoration company immediately for professional cleanup and disinfecting of the area. Never attempt removal or cleanup, as the above can make you ill or cause injury.
