3 Signs It’s Time to Hire a Water Damage Restoration Service

August 1, 2023

Unfortunately, water damage can strike at any time. According to Ruby Home, around 14,000 people in the United States are affected by water damage every day. This could be the result of bad plumbing or a leak coming from your roof. Maybe your home recently suffered damage due to inclement weather from a flood. Regardless of the cause, here are three of the signs that it's time to contact your local water damage restoration service.


1. Stains on Walls


Are your once beautiful walls suddenly stained? A leak can easily come from a crack in your roof and seep through the rest of your home's structure. When water hits your drywall, it'll show up in stains on your ceiling or roof which may be damp when you touch them further, indicating a leak. When you begin to see stains in your drywall, contact an experienced water damage restoration company to address the problem before it can grow into more significant and costly issues.


2. Musty Smells


Has your home been rife with musty smells for some reason? If your residence smells rather damp or musty, it's normally due to water damage lingering somewhere. In even worse cases, such smells may come from the formation of mold and mildew. Contact a local water damage restoration service the moment you notice these smells. Hire a company that is certified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to guarantee the work can be completed quickly and efficiently.


3. Mold


Unfortunately, it doesn't take mold long to grow once you have a wet environment. According to Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County, mold can grow within a damp environment in as little as 24 to 48 hours. So imagine if you have an ongoing leak that's been going on for days or weeks that you're just discovering due to the visible water damage. Who knows how much mold will also be lingering in places that you can't see. To ensure you get the help you need to have the mold addressed at a price you can afford, contact a water damage restoration company that offers discounts.


It doesn't take long for water damage to have a substantial impact on your home. By contacting your local water damage restoration service, you have a better chance of saving your home and avoiding a ruined foundation. Contact Maxim Cleaning & Restoration today for more information.

Winter Safety Challenges

With its cold and often stormy weather, winter presents many safety challenges-both indoors and out. Being prepared and following simple safety tips can help you stay safe and warm this season.

The Iceman Cometh

By 7007269286 • November 9, 2023
We are not referring to the play by Eugene O’Neill (for more information, visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ The_Iceman_Cometh ). Ice is nice … in a drink or to skate on … but NOT in your home or business. Here in Omaha and Council Bluffs, we are all too familiar with the types of havoc that ice and fluctuating temperatures can wreak outside, in our streets and our yards. Sadly, some of us know that frozen pipes can have a devastating effect inside our homes as well. Frozen water expands, and when that ice is inside pipes, this can cause your pipes to crack. Then, once the ice melts, the water will seep out of the resulting openings. You can easily end up with a flood somewhere in your home. In light of recent extreme weather, you may have realized that there is little time left to prepare your home for winter weather. The American Red Cross recommends that homeowners drain water from swimming pools and sprinkler supply lines before temperatures drop. Hoses used outdoors should be drained and stored. Adding insulation to attics, crawl spaces and basements will also help. Another good idea is turning on an indoor faucet to a trickle in extreme freezing weather, using hot water if possible. You can also open the kitchen and bathroom sink cabinet doors on cold nights to allow the warmer air to enter those areas. The Weather Underground has additional recommendations to keep you safe during the winter months. Stock up on products to melt ice on walkways, sand for improved traction, snow shovels or other snow removal equipment, seasoned wood for your fireplace or wood-burning stove. Make sure you have adequate clothing and blankets. Have a Family Plan to follow in case of emergencies, including contacts, meeting places and steps to take. Minimize travel, but keep a disaster supply kit in your vehicle. Should you have water damage due to this or any other reason, please call MAXIM Cleaning and Restoration at 402-697-9004. We are here to serve.
