DIY Water Cleanup Is Limited Compared to Our Expertise

Broward County is home to nearly two million people, meaning that issues like water damage disasters happen every day. While there are undoubtedly some smaller things that homeowners can address on their own, there are many more they should leave to the expertise and experience of AdvantaClean of Ft Lauderdale. Our professionals understand the unique challenges of structural drying in humid coastal Florida.

Acting Fast to Save Your Residence 

Water damage restoration for Pompano Beach homes is a matter of quick and deliberate action. There is no time to waste when water is spreading and moisture migrates through rooms and materials of the house. Delaying the start of the structural drying and the steps meant to inhibit mold development allows these conditions to lead to higher restoration costs and potential health concerns for your family.  

The Pitfalls of DIY Water Cleanup

  • Incomplete Drying—Moisture concerns might still exist if the surface materials are dry to the touch. The result could be structural deterioration or mold growth.

  • Hidden Moisture—Because plumbing is often hidden within the structural cavities of the residence, water can pool in these spaces, under floors, or behind cabinetry after leaks that only specialized tools can discover.

  • Insufficient Tools—Promoting airflow with household fans and small dehumidifiers is often inadequate for evaporation and humidity control. 

One of the advantages to choosing professional cleaning with AdvantaClean of Ft Lauderdale is that you can be certain you are getting responders outfitted with the latest modern tools and tech. We utilize industrial dehumidifiers for high-volume humidity management, high-speed air movers to accelerate evaporation, moisture meters that assess the wetness of building materials, and thermal imaging cameras to find hidden moisture caches within the walls and flooring.

The Risks of Not Fully Drying Your Property

When you do not thoroughly dry your residence, it can lead to possible issues within the structure. Beyond understanding the limitations of DIY cleanup, the resulting insufficient drying could cause concerns like:

  • Structural Damage—As water moves through building materials, they can dry rot and weaken. 

  • Mold – High humidity allows mold spores to root into porous building materials and form colonies.

  • Malodors – Earthy smells are an indicator of both mold growth and structural decay.
