Regardless of the source, water intrusion often impacts property owners in PatchMaster Serving the Treasure Coast. Sewer issues or flash flooding caused by heavy rain often damage existing drywall. When the drywall is exposed to water for an extended period of time, it tends to lose its structural integrity; mold issues often are a concern forcing the home or business owner to have a trained drywall specialist come in and perform a flood cut. That's where PatchMaster Serving the Treasure Coast comes in
Understanding the Importance of Flood Cuts
Flood cuts are made in drywall approximately 12-18 inches above where the water intrusion level rises. Unfortunately, mold can grow behind the effected walls if there is any moisture behind them. Flood cuts prevent mold from growing and restore the structural integrity of your walls and buildings.
When is a Flood Cut Necessary?
- When a flood has occurred, your basement or room has had standing water in it for an extended period.
- Grey water damage from leaking pipes and broken water line connections from appliances occurred over a period causing saturation of drywall materials.
- Sewage leaks from a burst pipe, blockage, and other plumbing problems, are referred to as blackwater damage. The presence of fecal matter and other harmful chemicals and toxins makes this a hazardous issue that needs immediate attention.
- Walls containing insulation. Regardless of the source, water contact usually destroys the insulation's effectiveness, and it also has the potential to rapidly turn from a grey water issue to a black water issue.
Why You Should Perform a Flood Cut After Water Damage
When faced with water damage issues, PatchMaster Serving the Treasure Coast strongly recommended you to err on the side of caution and perform a flood cut. Removing the potential for lingering issues or, worse, dealing with something that grows into a significant health issue for your family or tenants is crucial
Dealing with flood damage causes tremendous stress; too often, the owner attempts to remedy the issue themselves, and fails to remove the affected areas properly, allowing for mold and other issues to compound the problem, increasing the cost to repair, and placing families or tenants in hazardous conditions
PatchMaster Serving the Treasure Coast is your local drywall repair specialists who will perform a flood cut and then replace and restore your water-damaged drywall to its original state. As well as keeping you and your family or staff/clients safe, it will prevent further damage from occurring.
Things To Be Cautious Of
After weathering the storm or fixing the issue, you should immediately attempt to dry the damaged drywall area with fans and heaters to prevent replacing the affected drywall areas. Unfortunately, this is a dangerous proposition; not knowing the conditions behind the drywall often leads to a future mold issue due to unseen moisture. Oftentimes, individuals assume the problem has gone away. However, mold can dry and become dormant; in this stage, mold spores can go air born if agitated, causing health issues for some. If conditions change and water comes in contact with the dormant mold, it can begin to grow again and create an expensive repair issue later
