🌧️ Storms Hit Idaho Falls: A Quick Response to a Basement Water Emergency

This recent Idaho Falls storm left one homeowner with a very unsettling discovery: saturated carpet in their basement! 😟 Luckily, they immediately called the pros at Rainbow Restoration.

Our technicians wasted no time. First, they quickly identified the source of the water—it was seeping right in through the egress window. Second, they isolated the affected area. Third, they got straight to work on the drying process. 🌬️

Check out the photos to see the professional equipment (like those powerful air movers) that we deploy. Note how we were able to roll the carpet back to properly dry it and the concrete slab beneath!

Not all incidents require the removal of carpet or furniture, but time is of the essence. If left untreated, what could have been a manageable situation can turn into a much costlier mitigation project.

Water has a sneaky way of hiding exactly where you can’t see it.

When a slow leak or an over-splash occurs around your toilet or shower, water penetrates right beneath the surface. It immediately goes to work saturating your subfloor, leading to hidden rot, structural weakness, and toxic mold growth. If left unchecked, what started as a tiny drip can turn into a massive, structurally dangerous, and incredibly costly renovation project.

The key to preventing catastrophic damage is swift, professional action. At Rainbow Restoration, our priority is to mitigate the issue fast and keep your out-of-pocket restoration costs as low as possible.

As you can see in these photos, we don't just blindly tear everything out. We only remove the exact amount of flooring required to grant access, save what we can, and thoroughly dry the structure to strict industry standards.

Don't let a hidden leak compromise your home. If you suspect water has made its way under your bathroom floors, catch it early and call the experts at Rainbow Restoration today! 208-497-5252

Who To Call for Water Damage: Here’s What To Do Next

When facing water damage, prompt action is crucial. Rainbow Restoration outlines some essential steps and contacts for effective water damage response:

• Contact professional restoration services like Rainbow Restoration immediately
• Shut off the water source if possible
• Notify your insurance provider
• Document damage with photos and notes
• Avoid DIY cleanup for extensive damage

Quick answer: If a disaster hits a property, call Rainbow Restoration for immediate water damage remediation and restoration services.
Whether a property houses a family or a local business, it’s important to protect its structural integrity to keep occupants safe. In the United States, water damage is cited in 24% of home insurance claims. With this issue being so common, it’s valuable to know who to call for water damage.

Whether the damage comes from storms, plumbing issues, or leaks, hire a professional restoration company to mitigate damage and restore the property. They’ll know what to do when damage is found and expert tips to prevent it from occurring at all.

Who To Call for Water Damage

There are different types of water damage with different severities and risks. For example, water damage in a house from a septic tank issue requires a different approach than a leaky roof. That’s why it’s so important to hire a professional — a blanket solution isn’t enough. For common water damage situations, always call a qualified expert who adheres to industry standards for the best results.

Water damage restoration company

In any water damage situation, call a professional restoration company. Mold develops quickly and unchecked water damage can damage a building’s structure, making it uninhabitable. It’s difficult to effectively dry property without the proper tools and experience and DIY solutions can make water damage issues worse, with risks like chemical damage from user error or mold growth.

Rainbow Restoration service professionals have the experience to eliminate water damage, perform mold removal and remediation, and restore property to the best possible condition. Without professional restoration, there’s a risk of further property damage or health hazards.

Plumber

If there’s leak damage from an unknown source or issues with aging plumbing, call a plumber to resolve the root cause of the water damage. Once the source of the water damage is eliminated such as replacing a burst pipe, a professional restoration company can effectively work on the property.

Contractor

If a property has water damage from a leaky roof, window, or siding issue, a contractor can repair the problem and stop the progression of water damage. If there’s uncertainty about where the water damage is coming from, a general contractor can help find the source of the issue and repair it or recommend a specialist.

Once the source of water damage is fixed, professional restoration services can dry and restore the property for lasting results.

3 Steps to Take Once There’s Water Damage

Once suspicions about water damage are confirmed, take these steps to start the remediation process:

1. Find and resolve the source of the leak: If it’s safe to do so, the first step is to stop the source of the leak, such as shutting off the water main. If there’s an immediate emergency, such as electrical wiring in water, call 911.
2. Call the insurance company: If the water damage is from a covered peril, take photos of the damage and file a claim with the insurance company. Rainbow Restoration's service professionals will gather evidence to make this easier during the water removal and remediation.
3. Call a water removal and remediation company: Always hire professional services to fix any water damage. This emergency service needs to be done professionally to ensure the property is completely dried and inspected for issues like mold. Some property, such as furniture, might seem okay but must be removed if it’s not salvageable. It takes professional experience to make the right choices.

7 Telltale Signs of Water Damage to Watch Out for

Water damage can be tough to spot. Some of the most common warning signs a building might have water damage include:

1. Sagging ceiling tiles: Wet ceiling tiles may lose their shape and sag downward as water accumulates.
2. Discolored patches on walls or ceiling: Leaks in a ceiling or wall can create rings of mold, or mineral deposits that create discolored spots.
3. Bubbling or peeling paint: If paint captures or absorbs moisture, it can bubble underneath the paint or create peeling.
4. Persistent mold: If certain spots have persistent mold, it means there’s moisture exposure that needs to be resolved.
5. Musty odors: If water accumulates or materials in a building are damp from a persistent water source, the property may smell stale or musty.
6. Warped floors: Moisture gets absorbed if wood is consistently exposed to water. Wooden floors show water damage because it causes the wood to expand and warp.
7. Climbing water bills: Some leaks might be hidden or difficult to spot. Unexplained increased water bills are a sign to investigate a property for leaks.

Call Rainbow Restoration for Water Damage Restoration

If there’s flood damage, a leak, or another issue, figuring out who to call for water damage is the first step. DIY attempts can leave water trapped in a property and create even more destruction over time.
