Water Damage Restoration in New Orleans, LA and the Gulf Coast Area

If you have water damage, it is imperative to remove all bound water and affected building materials immediately. In 24-48 hours a drying process should be conducted to prevent mold growth from occurring.

Secondary Damages

The other important concern to consider is secondary damages. Secondary damages could include wicking or cupping of floors, degrading of building finishes, carpet de-lamination and a host of other problems associated with water intrusion.

Moisture mapping and monitoring are completed regularly and daily of the water damaged area to ensure that proper structural drying is being conducted. Relative humidity and specific moisture need to be stabilized to provide proper structural drying techniques.

There are three specific water loss categories that are recognized by the IICRC, a "gold standard" in the water damage restoration industry. They are as follows:

Category 1: Clean water line break, or a clean water source. Example, a washing machine line or refrigerator supply line water leak.

Category 2: Also referred to as grey water, this typically comes from a supplied water line leak, a toilet overflow or water that passes through building materials.

Category 3: This is known as black water. Examples of this type of water damage are a sewage backup or grossly contaminated seawater. Also fitting in to this category is water damage that has been observed and the utilization of drying equipment is delayed 48 hours or more.

Most soft goods and building materials (drywall, carpeting, vinyl flooring, etc.) would need to be removed.

Dehumidification

Dehumidification

It is vital in all building envelopes to have the proper engineering controls or environment to maintain the structure.

Dehumidification can be used in many roles to ensure that humidity and its effects are stabilized and within reason so that secondary damages due to moisture do not occur.

Certain types of dehumidifiers are used or supplemented in accordance with the condition of the atmosphere within the structure.

Three Main Types of Dehumidifiers

Refrigerant

Typically these dehumidifiers are used when there is a considerable amount of moisture and temperature. They do not work below 40 % relative humidity.

LGR

These dehumidifiers work in a range that would Be eligible when refrigerants cannot pull any more moisture from the air.

Desiccant

These dehumidifiers work below 10% relative humidity and also in cooler temperatures or temperatures that are not affected by engineering controls.
