DIY water damage restoration
Clean water damage is considered a minor issue as the cost to clean up is less expensive and easier to clean up and restore. Most homeowners opt to handle such repairs themselves.
Gray and black water damage restoration jobs are best left to water damage restoration experts, especially if the water has been flooding your property for a while.
Also, roof and plumbing repairs require specific tools, skills, and experience. Also, leaving traces of moisture to linger in your property can lead to other issues like deteriorating subfloor and mold growth down the line. So it is best to leave some trickier tasks to the professionals.
If you opt to tackle the cleanup yourself, you should have professionals assess the extent of damage and any other issues.
A professional will also help you identify the root cause of the problem so that you can have them fixed. Additionally, you should contact your flood insurance company before any repairs if you want them to cover water and flood damage repairs. They might want a professional to assess the damage to determine the repairs they will cover.
