Dealing with Water Damage? Rentals Can Help!

After what was an extremely dry start to winter, those of us in Central Oregon (not to mention Tahoe and Northern California) have been getting slammed with record amounts of snow. While all of this water will be a great thing to have come summer, it can lead to an array of issues as the snowfall thaws.

Ice dam buildup is happening extremely quickly as daily temperatures begin to rise. These glacially slow moving rooftop buildups of ice and snow can wreak havoc on homes and businesses, often ripping down rain gutters and trim as they melt and fall. As ice dams move across roofs they can create substantial leaks and introduce tons of water into buildings, homes, and basements. As this water collects and sits, it often leads to mold.

Fortunately, treating and removing mold is often much easier than it may seem. Mold Foggers can coat a confined space with a mold-killing and mold-preventing Concrobium solution. Dehumidifiers can remove all stored liquid from a space, even water behind drywall. And Air Scrubbers can keep air moving, and can filter out harmful molds resulting from extended water damage.

All of these tools are commonly used by contractors and homeowners alike to treat typical winter snow and water damage. While these tools are expensive to purchase, rental rates are very affordable on a daily and weekly basis.
