Water Damage Restoration for Pensacola & Navarre, FL

Floods, hurricanes, and more are all too common in the Navarre and Pensacola, FL area. From big storms to broken pipes, there are many ways that your home can become water damaged. Regardless of the cause, taking quick action is the best way to prevent serious problems or structural damage to your home, and to keep your possessions from being ruined. 

At the first sign of water damage, your first move should be to call a trusted restoration team to begin the cleanup job. Hiring a professional is important because of concerns for the structure of your home as well as health risks. If left alone, a water-damaged basement or room can become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. If the source of the water is a sump pump, toilet, flood, or sewage backup, that comes with its own inherent set of risks. Certain microorganisms in these dirty waters are hazardous contaminants that can cause negative health effects through either direct contact or inhaling suspended particles in the air. Cleanup of dirty water requires protective gloves, boots, and face masks, as well as thorough disinfection after the water has been fully removed. At The Carpet Clinic, our service team is trained on how to handle even the most difficult restoration jobs.
