Contain and Protect: It Matters
To Our Customers


Drying out a water damaged home can solve one big problem, but it can also create another one if the right measures aren't taken.

Biological pollutants should always be considered when drying wet ceilings, walls and floors.

According to the American Lung Association:
Biological pollutants include molds, bacteria, viruses, pollen, animal dander and particles from dust mites and cockroaches. These may cause infections, provoke allergic symptoms or trigger asthma attacks. 

Since the drying process often requires forcing air at high velocity into wall and ceiling cavities where dust and other small particulates reside, our customers and the unaffected areas of their homes need all the protection they can get from biological pollutants.

That's especially important for those with respiratory conditions or allergies; and, of course, it's always a best practice to keep clean spaces clean.

The easiest way to deal with all of those issues is to contain the affected area and prevent the spread of dust, debris, and other small, airborne particulates throughout the home whenever possible.
Using thick plastic sheeting; foam board; adjustable poles; and a few other materials, water restoration technicians will:

• Create a barrier between the affected area and the rest of the home, installing zippers for easy access
• Cover all contents left within the affected area
• Cover all window blinds in the affected area
• Cover all air vents and returns with a thin, breatheable fabric that filters particulate

A few extra steps can make all the difference for our customers, and when it comes to their health and protecting the undamaged areas of their homes, it matters to us.
