Tailored Flood Cleanup for Every Need

As the rain changes from a soft hint of falling rain to a hard-driving storm that threatens to turn your domicile into an airy wading pool, you might start feeling a little emotionally flooded. No need for an ark, though; it's quite likely that your home has just as much charm and character when it's storming outside as it does when the sun is shining.
We understand how it feels when life seems to be spinning out of control. We've felt that same feeling ourselves. Feeling like everything is falling apart is bad enough. But for many of us, that feeling can be compounded by serious mental health issues.
This is the reason that Simple Safe Water Restoration offers its services.

The Simple Safe Water Restoration Difference In Flood Cleanup

Swift Response Times

When water floods your house, every second matters. That's why our squad of specialists is on standby, poised to leap into action at a moment's notice. Our rapid response enables us to curtail the disaster, minimize the damage, and reduce the disruption to your life. Imagine going from panic to peace of mind in record time.

Comprehensive Water Damage Assessment

Grasping the total extent of water damage can be difficult, but our in-depth evaluations render the condition easy to grasp. We go to great lengths to find all affected areas, even those not obvious to the naked eye, leaving no nook or cranny unexamined. This exhaustive method ensures that all parts are restored to full function, so you won't have to worry about the things we can't see that might come back to bite us.

Personalized Cleanup Plans

Every flooded house is never the same as another one when it comes to the restoration effort. Our strategy for one house may not suit another, even if they are next door to each other. Why? Because no two floods contain the same mix of variables (the amount of water, the duration of immersion, the types of building materials and contents the water has touched, etc.), and therefore no two flooded houses have the same set of problems when the waters recede.

Transparent Communication

We believe in having an open dialogue at every step of the way. You won't be left in the dark. You won't be wondering what comes next or who to call for updates. Our team keeps you informed in a friendly, informative way, so you always know what is happening. This transparency builds trust, helping you feel secure throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

You Have Questions,
We Have Answers

What are the first steps I should take after experiencing a flood in my Columbus home? +

Following a flood, your first concern should be making sure you and your family are safe. Deactivate all electrical systems, if possible, and only if you can do so safely. For insurance purposes, before cleaning up, take photographs or videos to document the damage. Get in touch with your insurance company without delay to report the harm and initiate the claims procedure.

How do I know if the water in my home is safe to clean up? +

Water is safe only if its source is clean. Rainwater or clean water from broken pipes is generally safe to have around during cleanup. But if the floodwaters came from an overflowing river, a sewage backup, or some other externally sourced flood, then those waters are likely to be carrying harmful contaminants and/or debris. In cases like this, safety dictates that you should call in professionals to do the nasty work.

How soon should I start cleaning up after a flood? +

It's critical to start the cleanup as soon as you're given the green light to do so safely. Mildew and mold can begin to take root within a day or two after water gets to them. And while I know it's not always possible, if you can act quickly, that's also something that's beneficial when it comes to filing insurance claims.

What kind of cleaning solutions should I use for flood cleanup? +

Following a flood, it is vital to disinfect everything that might harbor harmful microorganisms. You can do this in two steps. For the first step, use a solution of non-ammonia soap or detergent in water. This will remove most of the soil and the "healthy" stuff that makes bacteria, viruses, and mold want to live and thrive. For the second step, you'll want to use a disinfectant. The go-to for many people is a mixture of water and bleach. Make sure to read the instructions and heed the warnings, especially about ventilation and mixing with other products. If you're using this method or any others, consider donning some protective gear—you might want to look like a hazmat worker for a little while.

How can I prevent mold growth after a flood? +

After a flood, the most important thing you can do to stop later mold growth is to dry your house quickly. You need to remove the water and get moisture levels down and keep them down. This means using air movers and dehumidifiers and your HVAC system (if it's safe to do so) to get the air in your house moving and to "eat up" the residual moisture in your walls. Smarter restoration teams use a thermal imaging camera to find spots where moisture has been trapped behind structural elements and to ensure that those spots get air and dry out as well. Any wall, ceiling, or floor that's been wet for more than 48 hours may be growing mold, and if you don't cut it out and discard it, you could end up with a house that's stinky, unhealthy, and unsafe to live in.

Should I attempt to clean up hazardous materials or leave this to professionals? +

Chemicals, biological waste, or sewage are dangerous and should be managed by professionals. They can pose serious health risks, and it's often required to have special training or equipment to handle them safely. Professional cleanup services have the know-how, the tools, and the protective gear to deal with dangerous substances safely and effectively. An equally important reason to have a dangerous materials cleanup handled by the pros is that it's necessary for insurance purposes.

How can I safely clean my furniture and personal items after a flood? +

For items that are non-porous, like furniture made of metal and plastic, the correct method of cleaning is this: Use warm water and soap, followed by a proper disinfectant. Porous furniture materials like fabric and wood may need to be thrown away if they've been wet for too long to stop mold from growing. Items should always be dried thoroughly to stop any moisture from causing further damage. If you have lost valuable or sentimental items in the flood, it is worth considering the professional restoration services that specialize in flood-damaged belongings. These are not run-of-the-mill restorations; they are bespoke jobs that cater to the individual needs of specific artifacts.

What should I do about my home’s electrical systems after a flood? +

Having your electrical systems inspected by a licensed electrician is a must after a flooding situation. Extensive damage could have occurred to all kinds of wiring, outlets, and even electrical panels, not to mention safety hazards that can arise. Even the use of some common electrical tools can be very dangerous. This is the kind of work that really requires the expertise of a trained professional.

How do I deal with insurance companies after my home has flooded? +

Get in touch with your insurance provider at the earliest possible convenience and convey to them the nature and extent of the damage. Also, make sure to confirm with them what exactly your policy covers. Keep a detailed record of all correspondence with your insurer. And keep a detailed record of all damage, with photos or video. Take the initiative to make repairs that are required right away to stop further damage. If you're uncertain about any part of your coverage, think about getting advice from a public adjuster or legal expert who can lobby for you.

Are there local resources in Columbus that can assist with flood cleanup? +

Indeed, numerous resources exist within Columbus to assist residents in cleaning up after a flood. Emergency management agencies at the local and state levels can provide not just excellent advice but also direct access to many relief services. A surprising number of nonprofit organizations have set up operations specifically to assist with the flood aftermath. Professional water damage restoration services have a nearly ubiquitous presence in the greater Columbus area and lend a hand to countless residents in rapidly restoring their homes after such an event.
