We called KIWI for an emergency water cleanup. They were amazing! They came right out as fast as possible and went right to work getting the water out and drying everything up. Rebecca was so efficient and kept us updated on every step. She also followed up on the phone, making sure I was satisfied and asking how I was doing. They were so caring, as I was in a state of panic. John came out and did a wonderful job. John and his helper even helped us carry out some of the furniture. From start to finish, they were terrific to work with, and I would recommend kiwi services to anyone.

Common Sources of Water Damage We Handle

At KIWI Services, we deeply understand the varied causes of water damage, backed by our readiness and state-of-the-art equipment. With years of experience, our skilled professionals are well-prepared to tackle these challenges with precision, ensuring your property is restored quickly and effectively. Here are the top five most common causes of water damage that we are equipped to handle:

  • Extreme Weather Events: Hurricanes, torrential rains, and tropical storms can rapidly overwhelm both natural and man-made drainage systems. KIWI Services was actively involved in the flood restoration efforts following significant hurricanes such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and Hurricane Ike in 2008, which profoundly impacted Houston. Utilizing our advanced techniques and equipment, we responded promptly to these severe weather events, managing the extensive flood damage they caused. Our swift and effective actions helped mitigate their impact and protect the properties of hundreds of residents and businesses.
  • Rapid Snowmelt: Particularly in colder climates, a sudden increase in temperatures can lead to rapid snowmelt, overwhelming rivers and lakes. Our team is skilled in handling the sudden influx of water, protecting properties from potential damage.
  • River Overflow: Heavy rains or upstream snowmelt can cause rivers to exceed their banks, leading to flooding of adjacent land and properties. We employ effective strategies to divert floodwaters and reduce damage to the affected areas.
  • Urban Drainage Basins: Urban areas, with their impermeable surfaces, are particularly vulnerable to flooding. Poorly designed or inadequate drainage can exacerbate the problem. We specialize in urban flood management, implementing solutions that reduce the risk of flooding in these densely populated areas.
  • Blocked Waterways: Natural and man-made debris can obstruct water flow, leading to overflow and flooding. Our services include clearing these blockages to restore proper water flow and prevent water from inundating nearby properties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can flood damage affect my home’s air quality?
Flood damage can significantly impact your home’s air quality by promoting the growth of mold and mildew, which release spores into the air. These spores can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Professional flood restoration services ensure thorough drying and antimicrobial treatments to improve and maintain indoor air quality.
What is the importance of using dehumidifiers in flood restoration?
Dehumidifiers play a crucial role in flood restoration by reducing humidity levels in the affected areas. This helps speed up the drying process, preventing mold growth and further structural damage. Dehumidifiers also improve air quality, making the environment safer and more comfortable during and after the restoration process.
Can KIWI Services handle flood damage in commercial properties?
Yes, KIWI Services is equipped to handle flood damage in commercial properties. Our team of certified professionals has the expertise and equipment to manage large-scale water extraction, drying, and restoration projects. We work efficiently to minimize downtime and get your business back to normal as quickly as possible.
How does KIWI Services ensure the thorough drying of hidden areas after a flood?
KIWI Services uses advanced moisture detection tools, such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, to identify and monitor hidden moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings. This technology allows us to ensure all affected areas are thoroughly dried, preventing mold growth and structural damage that can occur from trapped moisture.
Why is it important to monitor humidity levels during the flood restoration process?
Monitoring humidity levels during the flood restoration process is essential to ensure effective drying and to prevent mold growth. High humidity can prolong the drying process and create an environment conducive to mold and mildew. KIWI Services continuously monitors humidity to adjust equipment and techniques, ensuring optimal drying conditions and a safe restoration outcome.
