Water Damage in Wilmington NC Cleaned Up By Pride Cleaning & Restoration

Pride Cleaning & Restoration, a water damage and mold removal company based in Wilmington, NC, is very proud to offer its services to customers after hurricanes like Florence. The company finds and removes such things as hidden moisture behind baseboards, window and door casings and insulation, and microbial growth due to wind-driven rain. The company's office, located at 709 Winery Way, is excited to provide these services to customers.

The company supplies assistance for water damage Wilmington NC homeowners can rely on. Hurricane Florence hit this area with record rainfall, 100+ mph winds, and spurned tornadoes. When people returned home they may have noticed a few things like shingles missing and thought they had escaped serious damage. They possibly even filed a claim with their insurance company. And the adjuster came out to inspect the home and or business and maybe the insurance company even sent a check for the damage. Jim Seubert, co-owner of Pride Cleaning & Restoration says, “After Florence, many homeowners of Wilmington thought that everything was good. We discovered water damage that wasn't visible to the untrained eye.” Customers can get additional information on Pride's services by calling 910-507-2060.

The dangers of water damage can include breeding grounds for mold development and wood rot inside the wall cavities that are not exposed to air. Water damage plays hide and seek. The dumb water can be clearly seen but the smart water is hiding behind cabinets, under flooring, and elsewhere. Seubert says that he has inspected homes and businesses that were already dried out by other contractors. The property owners were still having health issues, had musty odors, and elevated humidity thus putting the family’s health at risk and causing additional damage.

Water damage Wilmington residents need repaired and remediated in a home is not a job for homeowners. There is a lot more work that goes into the repair work and remediation than what one would think. It is not necessarily safe because the average person doesn't understand if electrical wires are damp and damaged and could put themselves at risk of getting electrocuted. It would also take them a lot longer to get rid of all the water, dry out the various areas of the home, get rid of any mildew or mold, and ultimately get the home back into good condition. When dealing with water damage, they are in a race against time since more damage starts to take place as the water continues sitting inside the house. It is far better to have a repair business use durable devices that are required to quickly draw out water and dry out residential or commercial properties. They will work rapidly to deal with the water in the house because if the water sits too long, the damage can get worse, costing the owner more money.

Hidden water damage symptoms may not show up right away, but they start occurring after the water sits inside the walls and ceiling for a period of time. For example, there may be only a tiny bit of mold showing on the ceiling next to an air vent. Twelve hours later it can appear on the front of the cover. The room can look normal, but there can be water sitting in the insulation. This is typical of what Pride techs saw in houses in the Wilmington area. The wind-driven rain came in at an angle, and water got into the structure of the homes. It can’t be seen by the naked eye and so the home may look fine, but it is sick. Seubert says it is important to think of hidden water as a cancer in the home. The company uses thermo imaging cameras to verify that there is hidden water throughout the house.
