Any type of damage to your home or business is devastating and often costly. It’s also an incredibly common problem. The most important thing you can do when you realize damage has occurred is to act quickly and get help from a professional. The longer that water or ashes sit around, the more damage that occurs. Even if your property isn’t actively being flooded or burned down, secondary damages are real and must be taken seriously—your home or business depends on it. ABH Services specializes in the treatment of water, flood, and fire disasters. We are action-oriented and ready to get to work as soon as you call us.
By the time disaster strikes, the damage is normally too great to be reversed without extensive work, time, and money. That’s why prevention is key. There are many steps that homeowners and business owners alike should take to ensure their properties are as safe from disaster as possible. Fire and water disasters often go hand in hand, so you should try to prevent both individually in order to halt a double-disaster. At the end of the day, you’ll sleep much better knowing you’re taking every precaution to safeguard your space.
Causes of Water Damage:
- Burst or leaking pipes
- Clogged toilets or plumbing issues
- Leaking or faulty appliances
- Severe weather
- Malfunctioning water heater
Causes of Fire Damage:
- Broken or faulty smoke detectors
- A dirty oven or stovetop
- Frayed or damaged wires
- Cigarettes not put out properly
- A crowded home or business
You may have to pay more attention to specific parts of your property depending on where you live. For example, those of us who live in the Northeast are much more prone to burst pipes from freezing temperatures than someone who lives in the South. People on the coast may experience flooding damage from severe weather (such as a hurricane), while those in the Midwest might have to worry about rivers overflowing during intense rainfall. Those living in dry areas will have to be more careful about fire prevention than those living in humid areas. No matter where you live though, you should take precautions; no one is immune to disaster. Sit down and think about what makes your home or business uniquely vulnerable to water or fire damage, and then make a plan to combat those risks.
From ceilings to drywall to flooring and beyond, we never miss an area that needs attention. To guarantee we leave no stone unturned, the entire property will be inspected for damage. From there, ABH Services will make a customized plan to restore your home or business back to normal.
