Osceola neighbors: when a crew comes into your home after water damage, what happens to everything that is not wet? š
It is a fair question, and it is the first thing we take care of. Drying a house means fans, hoses, heavy equipment and sometimes demolition. None of that should cost you a fireplace mantel, a light fixture or a piano.
These photos are from a recent St. Joseph County job. Before the drying equipment was switched on, we:
ā¢ ā
Wrapped and taped the fireplace
ā¢ ā
Bagged the wall sconces so dust stays off them
ā¢ ā
Covered the piano and kept it out of the air flow
ā¢ ā
Laid protective board over the hardwood floors
ā¢ ā
Sealed the room so dust and damp air stay put
It adds a little time on day one. It saves you from finding new damage after the water damage is fixed.
Osceola sits along the St. Joseph River and Baugo Creek, and many homes here rely on a sump pump. A heavy rain, a power outage or a pump that quits can put water in a basement or crawl space in a few hours. Add frozen pipes in winter and water heater leaks any time of year, and most homeowners here will deal with water damage at some point.
