Our homes are where we spend most of our time outside of work or school, so it’s essential that our living spaces are as safe and comfortable as possible. If you’ve experienced water, mold or fire damage in your home, it may be necessary to replace or clean the carpet, paint the walls and get new drywall for your property. Champion Restoration provides effective solutions delivered by IICRC-licensed and certified professionals to bring your home back to its pre-damaged state.
If parts of your home need a paint job after sustaining water damage, it’s vital to ensure that the area is completely dry first. When you attempt to paint over water stains, you’ll increase the chances of mildew and mold growth. If there is mold on the walls and you attempt to cover it with paint, this will only make the mold grow and spread, which means it will find its way to other areas of your property.
It’s also important to ensure that the area is completely dry before you cover up a leak or repair a damaged pipe. Our team accomplishes this by using an industrial-strength heater or fan. However, if your pipe or the surrounding wall area is cracked or peeling, it needs to be completely replaced after the drying process is complete. This means installing new drywall. In most cases, wet drywall needs to be replaced, but there are some instances where we can save the drywall by extensively drying it if necessary.
Before we begin painting and have thoroughly dried the area, we’ll cover all areas that won’t be painted to prevent splatter. Our team will also ventilate the area by using a fan or opening the windows. This keeps you from breathing in the fumes of the paint and accelerates the drying process. We use state-of-the-art safety gear during the painting process and will bring along goggles and dust masks for you to use when you’re in the construction space and providing feedback on the job we’re doing.
The Champion Restoration team will also prime the area to be painted before applying paint to the walls. We know which primers belong with specific types of paint. The paint is essential for ensuring that paint wont smear or chip and keeps the color intact for a longer period of time. We apply several coats of paint to lock in the color and we’ll work with you to match your original paint color as closely as possible. Of course, you can also count on us to help you select a new paint color for your walls during post-fire, post-water damage or post-mold remediation.
When your home has sustained severe water damage, your drywall will be damaged as well. When water comes in contact with drywall, the drywall will begin to bubble and become discolored. These wet spots in the drywall are easy to see since the water soaks through the drywall and shows up on the wall. Once your drywall becomes damaged, the destruction can be permanent if you don’t fix the issue right way. That’s why we’re here to help 24/7 so we can remedy the issue before water damaged area become a breeding ground for mold and compromise the construction of your home. If mold spores develop on your drywall, the mold can make your home into a toxic environment and affect your health when you breathe in the air in your home. The structure of your home can also become weaker due to drywall damage, which could affect your safety and the security of your loved ones.
Once the Champion Restoration team assesses your home and removes the water in your home, we’ll fix any leaky or broken pipes so water buildup won’t affect the drywall again. In most cases, if the drywall has been wet for 48 hours or more, it needs to be removed and replaced right away. Since our professionals are IICRC-licensed and certified, we know how to complete each step of the process thoroughly and efficiently. We know that your family’s health a priority and we’ll work as fast as we can to prevent the risk of mold contamination so you and your loved ones can once again feel safe in your home. After we remove all the layers of drywall and insulation, we’ll check the area for mold damage and complete the mold remediation process before renovating these sections of your home.
Champion Restoration will also take care of your carpentry needs when it comes to renovation. We understand that you may need to build some of your cabinets from scratch after experiencing fire or water damage. We can rebuild the countertops in your home as well so you can get back to using all the space in your home efficiently. After experiencing a fire or flooding, it may also be necessary to build new windows and doors for various parts of your home. Our carpentry team will assess your home and take precise measurements to ensure you’re satisfied with the results.
