Miami, United States – September 8, 2017 /PressCable/ —

United Restoration Team, a water damage restoration company with offices throughout Florida has increased its staff to over 100 water damage restoration specialists and laborers. They were hired in response to the demand for more flood cleanup, drying, mold removal and reconstruction personnel in Miami, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and throughout the State of Florida due to Hurricane Irma.

“The most important thing is for people to be safe,” said water damage and reconstruction expert Gary Gonzalez, the company’s CEO. He went on to say, “With Hurricane Irma barreling straight towards us, while we are all hoping for the best, it’s important to prepare for the worst.”

Gonzalez says in the event of flooding and storm damage, home and business owners should have their insurance policies in-hand or have their insurance company email a copy to them so they can have it ready to send to a licensed water damage restoration company. The restoration company will need the policy when they come to inspect the property and go over all the procedures, services and details with them for placing the insurance claim.

He went on to say, “If your property does get flooded there are many potential hazards to be aware of the most dangerous being electricity. It is very easy to electrocute yourself if you are in a house with water in it.” Another hazard to watch out for is mold. “When it comes to water damage, time is of the essence. The longer water stays in the property, the more difficult it is to prevent mold damage from developing. There is only a 48-72 hour window of time to repair water damage before it becomes a mold problem,” said Gonzalez.

When re-entering a property that has been hit with water damage, try to save any valuable documents and photos, but all soft goods that got wet such as carpeting and bedding should be thrown out. Wherever the water line is, it’s important to remove the drywall at least a foot higher and use heavy duty dryers and fans to dry everything out to minimize mold development.

Gonzalez continued, “A good restoration firm must be certified and will never charge to inspect a home or business. They must be able to work with all insurance companies and bill the insurance company directly for any service that they perform. We are very sensitive to the emotional toll a flood disaster brings; it’s a very stressful time in people’s lives and can be overwhelming. We have experience helping people overcome their loss with friendly, professional service, and we always bring their property back to pre-loss condition as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
