Water & Flood Damage Restoration

At Superior Restoration Services

We understand when your property experiences water damage, you just want things to go back to normal as quickly as possible. Based in Camden, Maine, we perform complete water damage restoration for both commercial properties and residential homes. Our restoration services are unmatched by the competition.

Getting Your Property Clean and Dry

After your home has suffered from water damage, we will come to your location and set up the necessary equipment to dry the affected areas. The first step involves moisture testing to learn the moisture levels, and where exactly the water is located in your walls. For insurance purposes, we will document our inspection by taking photos of the damage. Once the area dries out, we come back to the property to take further moisture testing, and if necessary, relocate any equipment to better facilitate drying conditions. After everything is dry, provided we do not have to tear anything out, we treat the area with an antimicrobial solution to inhibit any mold growth. Lastly, we will clean any upholstery and put the room, house, or building back to its original condition.

EMERGENCY TIPS

Water is an essential part of many cleaning processes, and although it usually cleans, it can - under the wrong circumstances - cause damage. These tips can help reduce the harmful effects of water damage, if done properly.
DO...
  • Remove as much excess water as possible by mopping and blotting.
  • Wipe water from wooden furniture, after removal of lamps and tabletop items.
  • Remove and prop up wet upholstery cushions for even drying. Check for possible bleeding of the dyes.
  • Place aluminum foil, china saucers, or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting.
  • Turn on air conditioning for maximum drying in summer. Open windows to speed drying in winter.
  • Remove Orientals or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting.
  • Open drawers and cabinet doors for complete drying (do not force open, however).
  • Remove valuable oil paintings and art objects to a safe place.
  • Blot wet carpeting with clean white towels.
  • Open suitcases and luggage to dry, in sunlight if possible.
  • Punch small holes in sagging ceilings to relieve trapped water (don't forget to place pans beneath).
D0N'T...
  • Leave wet fabrics in place; dry as soon as possible, hanging furs and leather goods to dry separately at room temperature.
  • Leave books, magazines, or other colored items on wet carpets or floors.
  • Use your household vacuum to remove water.
  • Use TVs or other appliances while standing on wet carpets or floors, especially on wet concrete floors.
  • Turn on ceiling fixtures, if ceiling is wet, and keep out of rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

A fire can be a traumatic experience, and the property damage is often extensive. At Superior Restoration Services based in Camden, Maine, we can help you get your life and your property back to normal with professional fire damage restoration. In addition to restoration services, we can also provide contractors to perform any repairs.

Recovering and Restoring Your Property

Our company utilizes the latest fire restoration equipment, such as the HEPA 500 air scrubber and turbo dryers to remove any remnants of smoke damage. We also use an ozone generator and a hydroxyl generator odor counteractant to remove the odor from the home. To determine the extent of fire damage in your home, we will first document the area with photos, then use a chemical sponge to detect how much damage is in the walls. If there is any structural damage, we will pack up the contents and bring them to our office to be cleaned. For soot damage, we will clean the contents of the house in the residence.


Repairing Structural Damage

When a fire causes structural damage to your home or business, we will set up a contractor to perform the necessary repairs. We also have a painter and drywall installer on staff to handle any other repairs you need. Our goal is to provide everything you need to get your property back to its pre-fire/soot damage condition.

EMERGENCY TIPS

Although smoke and soot may seem to be identical, experienced professionals recognize the important differences. Emergency action can help in restoring walls and furnishings damaged by soot or smoke. If not done properly, it can make restoration difficult and could greatly delay your "return to normal".
DO...
  • Remove pets (especially birds) and place in clean environments.
  • Open windows for ventilation.
  • Empty freezer and refrigerator completely. If electricity is off, prop doors open with a rolled towel or newspaper.
  • Wash plants with water on both sides of leaves (water softener helps!).
  • Blow off for brush-vacuum loose smoke particles from upholstery.
  • Change furnace filter, if blower is operating.
  • Clean and protect chrome trim on kitchen appliances with a light coating of Vaseline or other oil.
  • Clean and protect smoked bathroom faucets, tub fittings, and towel bars with a light coating of oil.
  • If heat is off in winter: pour antifreeze in toilet bowls, sinks and tubs, to prevent freezing; and call your plumber to drain the heating system.
  • Change your furnace filter.
  • Cover upholstery with clean sheets before use.
  • Tape doubled-over pieces of cheesecloth over air registers with masking tape.
D0N'T...
  • Wipe, clean or attempt to wash walls, ceilings or other absorbent surfaces.
  • Use upholstered furniture, if it can be avoided.
  • Use exposed food items, or canned goods that have been subjected to excessive heat.
  • Use TVs, stereos, or electrical appliances until cleanned and checked.
  • Send smoked garments to and ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke and odor.
  • Use do-it-yourself home carpet or upholstery cleaners.
