Causes of Water Damage
Below are some of the causes of water damage.
Flood Cleanup
A building’s integrity is put to the test by severe storms and when the weather intensifies, water can become destructive. So, whether it is a flash flood, a winter storm or a tornado when your property is hit by water, it can become a big problem. While it is very difficult to be prepared for problems because of natural disasters, you can rely on us at Water Mold Fire Restoration, Westminster, to help you in any water damage restoration efforts needed to restore your property damaged by water.
Pipe Leaks and Burst
A key reason for water damage occurring in residences is because of burst or leaking pipes. This may be caused because of temperature changes, uncontrolled water pressure or wear and tear of old pipes. Pipes that are not insulated freeze in the winter and can cause the pipes to burst.
Window and Roof Leaks
If your roof, walls or window frames are damaged, in case of heavy rains, water can enter your home. The water can also enter your basement and your entire home can get flooded very quickly. Homes that are located near rivers or lakes are particularly vulnerable to flooding if there is overflow due to heavy rains.
Appliance Leaks and Broken Plumbing
Plumbing leaks can be the most difficult to detect as the pipes are usually concealed within the walls. Also, if your faucet in the bathroom, bathtub or your water heater or any other appliance leaks or floods, this can become a big problem. If you leave standing water on the floor, it can drain into tight corners or pool into areas that are out of reach. This can damage the floor and also cause mold growth. Also, if the water damage is from the kitchen or toilet overflow, you have an added risk of the spreading of microbes. So, it is always a good idea to get Westminster water damage restoration professionals to handle the problem to avoid costly expenditure later on.
Sewage Backup
When the sewer in your home backs up, it is not only disgusting, it is quite hazardous too. The contamination caused by gray or black water can spread toxins and cause infections. Sewer backups must be treated as an emergency and handled immediately. Our water damage restoration experts eliminate the damage from the sewage water and all the water damage that may be caused by the stagnant water.
Toilet Overflow
Blockages in the primary sewer line or any of the drain lines to your home can block the waste and prevent it from flowing away from your home, causing your toilet to overflow. The overflow is called black water and can be quite hazardous because it can cause the spread of toxins and infection.

Westminster Mold Removal/Remediation
While mold is present practically everywhere around us, keeping it out of your building or home can especially be a challenge because the mold spores are airborne. The mold spores just require a source of moisture and when they find it, they start growing. Mold can grow in drywall, wood, walls, etc. in your home where the humidity is high or there is water damage caused by leaks or floods.
Mold spores must be removed immediately because not only do they have serious health risks but they can also cause structural damage to the affected parts of your property. Exposure to mold can result in allergic reactions such as nasal congestion, coughing, skin irritation and itchy eyes. And, in extreme cases, mold exposure can cause serious health problems like respiratory infections and asthma.
It is recommended that you do not try and remove mold on your own. Use a professional Westminster mold removal/remediation company to do the mold remediation for you. Our expert mold remediation team works closely along with an environmental testing agency to test your property to locate all the hidden mold.
Our mold remediation services completely remove the mold from your property using antimicrobial cleaning processes and ensure that it doesn’t grow back. Our expert technicians will prevent the spreading of the mold while they work and will repair or replace all the surfaces that have been damaged by the mold.
Our Mold Remediation Process
Our Westminster mold removal/remediation experts follow the basic steps for mold remediation:
- Inspection and Assessment: Your entire property is inspected and a thorough assessment and testing is done for mold growth.
- Mold Containment: The spread of the mold must be controlled as effectively as possible and we do this by setting up containment around the affected area, create negative air using air scrubbers to capture all the mold spores that have been disturbed and vacuuming the mold and the entire area using HEPA vacuums.
- Mold Removal: The main method for mold remediation is to remove the mold physically from the building structure, contents, etc. Any attempts to kill or prevent the mold instead of removing the source is usually not enough.
- Repair or Replacement: All materials that have been damaged by the mold must be removed and repaired and if they cannot be cleaned or restored, must be replaced.
- Contamination Prevention: To prevent mold infestation in the future, the moisture problem which caused the mold growth in the first place must be identified and corrected immediately.
As soon as you notice any mold growth in your home or commercial property, contact Water Mold Fire Restoration in Westminster. Our expert technicians will use advanced techniques and equipment to remove all traces of mold from your property quickly and effectively.

Westminster Fire Damage Restoration
A fire outbreak can be catastrophic and can cause widespread damage. Not only is the property damaged and destroyed by the combustion, but there is also smoke and soot damage. Long after the fire is extinguished the odors of smoke linger in the draperies, carpets, clothing, upholstered furniture and the smoke contamination can even penetrate your cabinets and cupboards leaving behind sooty and smelly residue on the interior surfaces, glassware and dishes.
Not only are the walls and other absorbent materials covered with smoke and soot, the residue that is left behind is full of toxic chemicals and is a biohazard that gets into the HVAC system of your building and causes serious problems. Also, the water damage caused by the firefighting efforts is another problem you need to contend with.
In the event of a fire outbreak, do not try and attempt to clean up the damage on your own. You need Westminster fire damage restoration professionals to handle the fire damage restoration for you. Fires cause several layers of damage and not all of it is physical. The foul odors which get absorbed into the materials can be removed only by eliminating them at their source. Our specialist fire damage restoration team make use of advanced deodorization equipment and techniques to extract the odor from the air spaces and affected materials.
Process of Fire Damage Restoration

For example, the infrastructure of your property may be weakened by the fire or the wood floor that may look fine may be suffering from water damage, among other things. Ignoring such issues may result in expensive repairs later on and may even reduce your property’s value.
- Reduce Traffic: The combination of fire and water can compromise the infrastructure of your home or building. We cordon off the hazardous parts of your property to ensure that you and your family are protected.
- Remove Water and Drying: We then ensure that any standing water is quickly pumped out. Every bit of standing water can become an area for the growth of mold or mildew, which can cause further damage to the property. Our Westminster fire damage restoration technicians will eliminate the water quickly and dry the spots immediately so that the rot does not set in.
- Smoke and Soot Cleaning: Once all the standing water is removed and dried, our technicians will clean all surfaces including the floors, walls, ceilings, etc. of your home. They then make use of air sanitizing to eliminate any leftover smoke odors.
