Berkeley Sewage Cleanup Service

There are times when homes get flooded. Whether it’s bad weather or an old pipe, it just happens. But it’s a lot worse when it’s not normal rainwater that’s flooding the basement or house. When it is a septic tank problem where sewage has flooded the area, things are definitely at an all-time low. These are not the times to attempt a little DIY to salvage your home. These are the times when you should call Bears Restoration for Berkeley sewage cleanup. Only with our help can your situation be quickly and completely resolved without damaging side effects.

Home Damage Risks

There are definite risks to your home when sewage water floods. For example, with any kind of flood, the structure of the home can get damaged. Moisture seeps into the carpeting, flooring, walls, drywall, insulation, and more, ruining the property. What’s even worse is when the moisture leads to the growth of mold. Mold loves wet, dark places, and it’ll eat away at your property. With Bears Restoration doing the cleanup, though, this doesn’t have to be a problem. We’ll provide such extensive sewage cleanup that you’ll never even know there was a sewage flood.

Health Risks

Sewage water is filled with bacteria, contagions, contaminants, and more that could cause severe illness. Walking barefoot on the wet area or even breathing at all in the area introduces harmful toxins into your body. You need us to drain your home of the sewage water as quickly as possible so that you can continue to have a place to live where you don’t also have the risk of getting sick. Another dangerous health risk is mold. You may think that mold can only affect your home, and as long as the water is cleaned up, you’re safe. But mold usually grows in places that are hidden from view. Toxic black mold is a huge fan of sewage water. Without proper professional sewage cleanup, you could have this substance growing in your home. The risks to your health are many, including respiratory problems and headaches and cold-like symptoms. Don’t let it become a problem – call Bears Restoration to remove the sewage and restore your home for you.

What Is a Crawl Space?

Most house basements in Berkeley have big, livable basements that can easily be converted into rooms, some home owners still opt to have crawl spaces to store their house pipes in—this way, the pipes will be much more accessible and easier to repair when leaks occur. Aside from this, crawl spaces also double as storage space for other small house equipment.

Crawl Space Maintenance

Essentially, a crawl space needs to be maintained if you’re going to use it as a space for all your pipes. Pipes carry massive amounts of water to all parts of your house, and crawl space could easily acquire moisture if not regularly cleaned or checked. As with the nature of moisture and warm air, mold formations and mildew may start to form, and since a crawl space is a part of your house, mold can spread to other parts of your house as well. Aside from molds, nasty sewer smells can spread to the first floor of your house when not taken care of properly.

Bears Restoration offers all kinds of services for the crawl space, including the installation of plastic vapor barriers that prevent moisture from forming in the crawl space. This also keeps the moisture to rise up through your walls and create nasty odors all over the house. Furthermore, it keeps mold from spreading, and mold once it spreads can be unnaturally dangerous to a house’s inhabitants—it causes dizziness, vomiting, and nausea, among others.

Crawl spaces are cost effective for any house, but once it gets damaged or one of the pipes is broken, it can prove to be disastrous as it may even cause minor flooding inside the house.

Mold Removal Professionals in Berkeley

Mold – can’t live with it, can’t… well, live with it

There is nothing more depressing than finding out that a new tenant has settled into your house, usually without your consent, and that now you are sharing your beloved home with mold. All it takes is a little water, humidity, or moisture, a relatively dark space or corner, and there you have it – mold has come to pay a visit.

Mold is not only an aesthetic problem, mold can be dangerous

While many people may mistakenly think that mold is nothing more than an aesthetic problem, it can be a lot more serious than that. Sure, mold is not a pleasant sight as it makes things look old and poorly maintained. But as previously mentioned this should be the least of your worries. Some types of mold, like black mold, can be toxic and extremely dangerous. Mold releases mold spores into the air, which in turn, are breathed in by residents of the infected house. Exposure to mold over lengthy periods of time can result in serious respiratory illnesses or other health conditions.

This is why mold testing and removal services are so important.

Water Damage Restoration Experts in Berkeley

Water is great. Too much water – not so great

Water is the essence of life. No living thing can survive without it. The problem begins when there is too much water. When floods strike, when particularly bad weather befalls certain areas, or when structures and buildings become exposed to water, humidity, or moisture for too long a time, you suddenly find yourself dealing with water damages.

Why are water damages dangerous?

Water damages are cause by prolonged exposure to water, humidity, or moisture. This can be caused by overly humid air or by direct exposure to water. There is no doubt that water damages are largely unsightly. They lend walls or other damaged surfaces an old and neglected appearance. But that is not the most serious scenario. Over time, exposure to water can result in weakened infrastructure. This means that the integrity of structures’ walls, doors, staircases, floors, and the like, is not as strong as it should be, and actually pose a serious threat to those living within that building or otherwise frequenting it.
