Cleanup after a flood or a large water leak in your home is an essential part of protecting your health and your home from structural damage. Water damage can cause significant mold growth, deterioration of building materials, and other hazardous conditions due to water damaged appliances or asbestos.

Flood Water Damage
Flood water in the home can pose serious threats to your health and your home. Major water damage can cause structural collapse, electrical or explosion hazards, septic or sewer system failure, water contamination, and black mold growth. No one should attempt to clean up after a major flood if they do not have the proper protection gear and equipment. Our certified flood restoration technicians have the skills, knowledge, and experience it takes to remove flood water quickly and safely. Our techs use only the most advanced equipment and protective gear to clean the flooded area and ensure that there’s no moisture trapped in walls or carpets that could lead to mold growth. Our professional water damage cleanup services also include mold tests, asbestos removal, and demolition of irreparable water damaged materials.
Basement Flooding
Water damage in the home is commonly due to flooded basements when there are severe weather conditions. Excess groundwater can easily leak into foundations made of porous materials, such as cinderblock, which is why it helps to have a sump pump or a drainage system that pushes any water runoff away from the home. While taking these precautions can prevent flooded basements, groundwater can get into basements when a sump pump stops working, or if it can’t handle large amounts of water caused by heavy rains. If you have significant flooding in your basement, you should have a professional clean the area and inspect for mold. Even if you have an unfinished basement, there could be hidden mold growth or other hazards due to water damage.
Burst water pipes and significant water leaks are another common reason for flooded basements. These should be repaired immediately to minimize the damage, but you should also have a qualified water damage restoration specialist inspect the affected area. If there’s potential for sewage contamination because of a broken sewer line or septic backup, calling a plumber as soon as possible is especially important. To get the most reliable emergency plumbing repairs and water damage clean up, call the professionals at Milani Plumbing. Our expert technicians have the skills and experience to know the best techniques for each flood situation.
Toxic Mold Remediation
After a flood or plumbing emergency, toxic mold is a serious threat. Water–logged building materials, standing water, and excess moisture in the air create perfect growing conditions for harmful microorganisms. These organisms can cause further damage to materials and pose health hazards, such as aggravating allergies and causing other breathing problems. Our qualified water damage cleanup technicians use the most advanced equipment and techniques to inhibit the growth of airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold spores.
