We're On Our Way! While You Wait…

Keep calm, but act quickly. Gather everyone outside, especially if the damage is severe.

Find the circuit breaker and main water shut-off valve and turn them off. These are typically in low-traffic areas like a basement, garage, or utility closet. The water shut-off valve could also be outside, near your front curb. If the circuit breaker is not in a dry area, or water levels are rising quickly, skip this step to avoid electric shock.

If water damage came from a backed-up sewer, or the water is black or gray—avoid contact at all costs. Wastewater is a health hazard to everyone, including pets.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

  • Same-Day Emergency Response

    Our IICRC-certified technicians will check for safety concerns (electrocution risks and ignition hazards) and assess the extent of damage upon arrival. Humidity meters, infrared cameras, and other sensors will help detect moisture and mold growth within floors, walls, ceilings, and other nooks and crannies.

  • Cleaning, Disinfection, Deodorization, and Repairs

    Once everything is dry according to a combination of various instruments and our expertise, we can start cleaning, disinfecting, and deodorizing where needed. And, in case you need additional services, we also do carpet cleaning, document restoration, mold cleanup, structural repairs, and more. As licensed contractors, we can take care of everything.

  • Retrieve Salvageable Items

    It’s common for furniture, especially wooden pieces, to swell and warp if left wet or submerged in water for several days—but please don’t wait this long to seek help. We will gauge your items’ salvageability and relocate what can be saved to a safer area until restoration is complete.

  • Finishing Touches

    J&M will return your clean, salvaged belongings back where they should be, restoring your space to its pre-damaged condition and providing you with peace of mind.

  • Water Extraction and Drying

    We employ ultra-high-powered pumps and vacuums to remove standing water. Then, we utilize professional-grade drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, to expedite the process and prevent further damage.

How Quickly Can Water Cause Damage?

Act fast to prevent the worst. Here’s an overview of what will happen if you delay water damage restoration:

  • Minutes

    As soon as water infiltrates your space, contamination begins to spread. Drywall soaks up water like a sponge, water seeps through flooring, and drenched furniture turns into breeding grounds for bacteria. Printed photographs and important documents may also be lost forever.

  • Hours

    The hours after a leak or flood are crucial. Wooden furniture begins to swell, unpleasant odors arise due to high humidity levels, and dyed fabrics may bleed or discolor.

  • Days

    Mold can grow and multiply on moist surfaces within a day or two. Solid wood, including hardwood floors, may warp and potentially crack. If the leak originates from upper floors, water damage can seep down to lower levels. Exposure to humidity can also cause wallpapers to peel off, and paint to blister and bubble.

  • Weeks

    Water intrusion left unaddressed for weeks, maybe due to a broken pipe concealed in a wall, has likely caused mold to spread throughout the property. Individuals with respiratory problems may have difficulty breathing, and those with allergies may have persistent symptoms. As the source continues to leak or gush water, the property will sustain more damage. Unfortunately, long-term water damage may require gutting and rebuilding the property.

Moisture Control = Mold Control

It only takes 24 to 48 hours for mold, a fungus, to grow on water-damaged surfaces. It thrives on moisture, reproducing by means of microscopic spores that travel through the air. As water damage spreads throughout your property, so can mold.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mold spores can irritate your eyes, nose, throat, skin, and lungs, regardless of whether you’re allergic or not. Symptoms may include itchiness, nasal congestion, a sore throat, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or other allergic reaction symptoms. Prolonged mold exposure can weaken your immune system further, making you vulnerable to infections and diseases.

Mold remediation and prevention are critical parts of our water damage restoration process. With your health and safety in mind, J&M Inc. will quickly mitigate the damage and return your property to its original state.
