Pipes that burst, heavy rainwater, or a broken washer can lead to a deluge of water that can seem overwhelming once your home or property is damaged. It might be tempting to try and tackle some of the repairs yourself, but you’ll save a lot of time and money by reaching out to the professional and experienced water damage cleanup experts at ServiceMaster Complete Restoration by Stiffey in the Uniontown, PA area.

The aftereffects of a disaster or bad weather can be stressful, especially if the damage isn’t covered under a homeowner’s insurance policy.

Water damage should not be handled by yourself because water can be unsanitary and a hotbed for bacteria and disease. In general, water damage is classified into three distinct categories based on the source:

• Category 1: This category encompasses damage from clean sources like toilet tanks or broken pipes. However, clean water can become more toxic if it’s allowed to sit for too long. Our team responds promptly to all water damage cleanup calls and works diligently to ensure all areas are dried and cleaned as swiftly as possible.
• Category 2: Category 2 damage comes from water that is in a ‘grey zone.’ This could include water from washing machines or dishwashers that might contain certain types of chemicals. Professionals should be the only ones handling the cleanup of any water that contains chemicals because they have the tools and equipment to stay safe and make sure any residue is completely cleaned.
• Category 3: Category 3 water damage is from water that is completely unsanitary and has a high risk of causing illness, disease, or even death. This could stem from water that was in a sewer system or from a river or lake. Previously clean water that has grown bacteria and microbes can quickly cause Category 3 damage. The ServiceMaster Complete Restoration by Stiffey team is highly experienced at cleaning unsanitary water and relies on truck-mounted drying equipment to ensure all contaminated water is completely removed once the water damage cleanup process commences.

Never feel like you have to weather the water damage cleanup process by yourself. Our team members are on-call 24/7/365 to respond in a professional and compassionate manner to help you restore as much as your property as possible to how things were before the bad weather or breakdown occurred that led to the water damage.
