Water damage can be caused by a wide range of sources such as plumbing problems from faulty water heaters, toilets, sinks, water or sewer lines as well as leaky roofs and air conditioning condensation lines.

Regardless of the source, water damaged homes or businesses need to be quickly addressed by knowledgeable, well equipped professionals. FLA-CAT | Florida Catastrophe Corp. has experience dealing with all types of water damages. Our water mitigation team has the necessary training and equipment to restore your home or business to pre-loss conditions or better.

FLA-CAT | Florida Catastrophe Corp. knows there is more to water damage then meets the eye. On the surface one may think that their water damage is confined to some wet carpet and a few furnishings. What most people do not realize is that when water damage occurs, water travels quickly absorbing into and traveling underneath walls spreading from one room to another. When left untreated or improperly treated, water damages can lead to secondary problems. Drywall can disintegrate, wood can warp or rot, electrical problems may occur, mold and mildew can grow.

Water Damage
One of the most widespread disasters facing property owners, insurance companies, and risk managers today is water damage. FLA-CAT provides effective disaster planning and responds promptly to ensure recovery to your property as timely as possible. Immediate Action is important. Your home or business and its contents are less likely to grow mold if they are dried within 48 hours.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
FLA-CAT can lower the risk of additional damage and restoration costs by taking immediate action before mold has time to set in.

WATER EXTRACTION
The initial extraction of water is crucial (up to 95% is removed).
We are often able to leave furniture in place throughout the drying process that enables our clients to live in the premises during the process.

STRUCTURAL DRYING
The charting of temperature and relative humidity provides a constant measurement of water grains per pound that scientifically demonstrates that your structure is dry. The use of high velocity air movement and powerful dehumidifiers create rapid evaporation.

MOLD PREVENTION & REMEDIATION
FLA-CAT will provide certified technicians in mold remediation and mold removal. You can be assured that our specialists will prevent mold growth by drying your structure completely after a water loss. However, if you have a mold problem already, we are fully equipped to remediate the problem.

Mold Damage
Molds have the potential to cause serious health problems. They produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, toxic substances (mycotoxins). Exposure to mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions. These may include hay fever symptoms, sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis). Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Please don’t allow your loved ones to be exposed to these ailments.

ANALYSIS
The first step to proper mold remediation is to thoroughly analyze the type and extent of the problem. Sampling will be collected to identify specific fungal contaminants. If an active leak is present, the original source of the water damage must be located and stopped in order to proceed with the remediation process.

CONTAINMENT
The purpose of containment during remediation activities is to limit the release of mold spores into the air and immediate surroundings.

REMOVAL
Contaminated materials that cannot be remediated must be sealed and removed from the building to prevent further contamination.

RESTORATION
Prior to reconstruction, all areas will be certified by an independent industrial hygienist. After certified clearing, FLA-CAT will be able to reconstruct the area and provide a safe, clean space for your family or employees
