800-542-8101While there’s never a convenient time for a water damage emergency, Alliance is prepared to respond with urgency and efficiency to minimize business and personal interruptions.
Burst pipes, overflowing septic systems and toilets, leaking appliances, and roof leaks are often the most common sources of water damage, but even more costly are the business and personal interruptions. The longer water is in contact with a building, the more susceptible it is to secondary damages. Time is of the essence and Alliance responds with urgency and efficiency.
In this video, we sit down with Ryan Pilota, Director of Operations and our water mitigation specialist, to discuss the process and importance of water mitigation. Ryan has over 15 years of experience in the industry and has worked on a wide range of projects, from large-scale flooding in commercial buildings to small leaks in residential homes. With his expertise, Ryan provides insights on how water mitigation works, why it’s important to act quickly with a remediation process, and how it can save property owners thousands of dollars in repairs. Whether you’re a business owner or a homeowner, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to learn more about the critical role water mitigation plays in protecting your property.
In the past five years I have had the pleasure of doing business with Alliance numerous times. Their professionals always have the proper equipment and expertise necessary to handle the worst possible flood related damage imaginable. Regardless of the time of day, their response has always been quick, and with a definite purpose; to minimize property damage due to water. The alternative to their help would have been costly water and mold damage causing lost revenue due to downtime to our facility and tenants. Their well coordinated efforts have never disappointed us. In every instance, their fee was fair and reasonable.
Alliance Environmental’s trained and certified professionals immediately access and document the extent of damage from a water loss. As all water damage may not be visible, we use state-of-art technology including thermal imaging cameras, thermo-hygrometers, and moisture meters to detect moisture under floors and behind walls. By identifying all of the saturated areas, we can dry them immediately and eliminate the conditions for mold spores to develop and for structural damage to occur.
After assessing the damage and recommending solutions, we immediately begin the water damage remediation and/or microbial abatement process. Our water damage restoration process includes:
Alliance Environmental’s technicians work diligently to get you back to pre-loss condition quickly.
Our IICRC trained technicians are equipped to handle all categories of water loss including clean water, gray water containing contaminants, and unsanitary black water containing pathogenic agents.
Category 1 water is water that does not pose a threat to humans. This includes water from a broken clean water supply line or a faucet. If not properly addressed, however, category 1 water can quickly escalate to category 2 or 3.
Category 2 water is contaminated and can cause discomfort or illness if ingested. This water may contain bacteria and other microbes. Examples of category 2 water include water from a dishwasher or washing machine, or water that has overflowed from the toilet but not yet mixed with feces.
Category 3 water is highly contaminated and can contain pathogenic agents, toxins, and other harmful substances. This includes water from a sewage backup, river or ocean water, and standing water that has been stagnant for more than 48 hours.
Water damage can be caused by a number of factors, including natural disasters such as floods and monsoons, burst pipes, leaky roofs, sewage backups, and appliance malfunctions. It is important to address water damage as quickly as possible to prevent mold growth and further damage.
The process for emergency water mitigation typically involves an initial assessment to determine the extent of the damage, followed by the removal of any standing water using specialized equipment. The affected area is then dried out using fans, dehumidifiers, and other equipment. Any damaged materials are repaired or replaced as needed.
Many insurance policies cover water damage caused by certain events, such as burst pipes or natural disasters. However, it is important to check your policy and speak with your insurance provider to determine what is covered and what steps you need to take to file a claim.
While it is possible to address minor water damage on your own, it is recommended to hire a professional for larger and more severe cases of water damage. Professionals have the expertise and specialized equipment necessary to fully assess the extent of the damage and properly address it to prevent further damage and health risks.
Water damage can create an environment for mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms to grow, which can pose health risks for occupants of the affected property. Exposure to these contaminants can lead to allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and other health issues.
