Water damage from a flood, or even a broken pipe, can be extensive, permeating into every nook and cranny of your home. Even if it feels like you've dried up the mess and cleaned up your belongings, the damage can continue for months, threatening your home and the health of your family. Chemdry Carpet Cleaning of Nebraska, one of Lincoln's leading contractors, explains why you should always leave flood restoration to the professionals.

Three Reasons Professionals Should Handle Flood Restoration

Floods Lead To Mold Growth

After a flood, the priority is getting all of the water out of the house, including what you can't see inside the walls and under the carpet. Over time, this trapped moisture makes a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, which can spread rapidly, irritating allergies and causing breathing problems for you and your family members.

Water Damage Continues

The carpet may seem dry, but is there moisture trapped in the insulation? Will the subfloor still be sound? Without the expertise of a trained flood restoration professional, it can be hard to tell whether you've taken care of the water problem or if your house needs more work.

Floods Contain Hazardous Materials

Floodwater is often a mixture of noxious, potentially dangerous materials, including the contents of sewage and septic tanks, oil, gasoline, and water from nearby lakes and streams. Most homeowners lack the experience and materials to handle these issues on their own, which is why hiring an experienced flood restoration professional is so critical.
