  1. Common DIY Water Damage Restoration Errors In the age of Pinterest and DIY projects, influencers tend to post lots of pics of successful water damage restoration projects and minimize the mistakes made along the way. People have a tendency to think that complicated projects are easy. However, there are some things that should always be handled by capable professionals. Water damage restoration is one of them. Common DIY Water Damage Restoration Errors Some of the most common areas of errors are due to poor workmanship, inferior materials, and over estimation of skills. For example, overtightening plumbing connections or the misuse of plumbing tape which causes leaks. Cinching out on the water vapor barrier could lead to a damp basement. Moving the refrigerator around or squishing it against the wall could lead to breakage of the water lines. Homeowners often make the mistake of thinking a wet area has been dried thoroughly, not realizing that moisture is still an issue. If you end up with water damage in your home, contact the professionals from Restoration 1 Of Durham in Chapel Hill who can help you avoid common water damage problems like the following. Electrical Hazard Water damage around the house leads to the possibility of electrocution. Faulty electrical wiring in your home can increase the possibility of electrical accidents. Trust the Restoration 1 of Durham-Greensboro technicians to keep your home safe while they make repairs. Exposure To Bacteria Water from flooding is usually filled with germs and bacteria that can cause health hazards. Attempting to clean floodwaters puts your health at risk. Even if you are careful, there is still a high chance that you can come in contact with bacteria and harmful contaminants when cleaning up water damage. Household cleaners are not designed to clean these types of messes. Take advantage of the professional products, tools and safety equipment that restoration experts utilize.

  2. Mold Growth Another possible problem after your home suffers water damage is the potential for mold to grow. We all know that the presence of mold can pose a great danger to one’s health. Mold thrives with moisture and DIY water damage restoration does not guarantee full elimination of moisture in key areas. Professional water damage restoration will allow a more thorough and complete cleanup of any remaining moisture. This will ensure that mold will not grow around your house after flooding.
