This incorporates domestic and industrial sites. We are members of the, IICRC, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning, Restoration & Certification and the ASCR, the Association of Specialists in Cleaning and Restoration in the United States of America.

For Flood & Fire emergencies, we have a quick response team, which aims to be on the scene within hours. Our main concern is to prevent further loss occurring to property, whilst implementing procedures that will make the transition to normality as smooth and stress-free as possible for the client. This involves assessing what damage has been caused and limiting any further damage to property. In the case of a fire after taking readings for the Relative Humidity and the Temperature, we would remove any items of value from smoke affected areas into a drying area, or remove them off site to a storage area for inspection and decontamination. This includes all books, papers, pictures, clothes, as well as furniture.

DETAILED ESTIMATES: A thorough independent and impartial evaluation of all damage will expedite the insurance claim process so restoration work can begin quickly.

INSPECTION AND APPRAISAL OF DAMAGES: Our technicians are experts in building construction, and carpet and fabric properties. Their many years of experience with thorough inspections and appraisals of damaged structures result in a guaranteed price for repairs with no surprises when the work is done.

COMPLETE CLEANING SERVICES: Our personnel have over 15 years of experience in cleaning up after all types of disasters. This wealth of experience helps us to tackle new disaster scenario we encounter.

EMERGENCY SERVICES: Our services include water removal from leaks or flooding, effective odor control, professional deodorization and emergency board up after a fire.

EXPERT RESTORATION: Comfort and peace may well be shaken after a loss but will return after Disaster Restoration finishes the complete restoration of the damaged areas.

PROPERTY & FIXTURES RESTORATION: Followed by the initial preliminary clean up operation, thorough washing down all walls, ceilings and floors, this would also involve fogging the building, which applies a smoke & odour neutralizer to all the areas that the smoke has reached. Also we may place a JetaZone unit in each smoke-affected area which will deodorise the entire premises. This can be done in minutes, or be run overnight on a time controlled basis. The upholstery, carpets and curtains where possible will be cleaned on site or cleaned at our facility and returned to the loss location or put into storage. All electronic equipment are checked for smoke damage and then dry / wet washed to remove all traces of smoke and carbon etc. In other words, all items that are restorable will be returned to site as quickly as possible, thus keeping the restoration time to a minimum and returning things back to normality.

Delay in action can result in permanent damage and costly replacement. So, when disaster strikes callDisaster Restoration at (+65) – 6241 9443 or (+65) – 9222 9222 immediately – without obligation for a FREE consultation to save $$$$$$$$.

Choosing the Right Disaster Restoration Company and Acting Fast Makes All the Difference

Call it disaster preparation, emergency planning, or business continuity strategizing: the terms may be interchangeable, but the implication behind them isn’t. In the event of a disaster, organization bounce-back comes down to preparation and the type of Disaster Restoration Company it chooses.

Our track record of successfully mitigating business disruption is perhaps the best testimony to the difference that proper business continuity planning and disaster restoration by DRS can make.

You will have peace of mind knowing that potential threats and vulnerabilities to your businesses have effectively been addressed. As soon as water stops accumulating, we can help you dry out your premises by extracting large volumes of water with our powerful extractors.

Within one hour, furniture submerged in water can start to swell, split and stain. Within 48 hours, mold, mildew and bacteria will start to destroy carpet backing. The faster you act, the lesser the damage.

Mold – a Four-Lettered Word Most Feared

A special note about mold. Mold is one of the most destructive and dangerous microorganisms that exists. Excessive moisture and warm temperature allow it to flourish at an exponential rate. Highly adaptable, mold is an enzyme-producing organism that will grow on any surface, as long as moisture is present. And if large concentrations of mold spores are inhaled, they can cause health issues such as Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. For these reasons, it is vital to dry wet property within the first 48 hours of a flood to prevent irreversible damage and possible health risks.

We will remove carpets if necessary, and supply you with Industrial Grade Turbo Dryers and Dehumidifiers to get your home or business premises dry as soon as possible. We treat materials with an antimicrobial to help prevent odors caused by mildew and bacteria. We also sanitize and deodorize where needed. Padding always needs to be discarded and is inexpensive to replace. Carpets, once cleaned, dried and treated, can in some cases be reinstalled with no adverse effects.

You don’t have to suffer a full-blown flood to experience the consequences of water damage. Even if you have a minor water problem, such as leaky pipe, overflow from a washer or rain seepage, it is equally important to attend to the water damage. We employ HydroSensors to detect moisture deep in floor coverings and walls to help you locate an elusive moisture problem. Once the root source has been identified, we offer you solutions to eliminate the problem. Getting you dry is always our first order of business, because we know how much damage moisture can cause to homes and health.

Structure Drying

There is always much more to water damage than that meets the eye. Visible damage includes wet carpet or floors, stained walls, stained ceilings, and wet furnishings. Once water has entered a structure, the destructive elements of moisture are set in motion. Wood floors and cabinets will buckle or warp. Walls will absorb moisture and become a breeding ground for mold and fungi, which start to grow within 24 hours.

We have the experience and knowledge to quickly assess your damage and restore your property utilizing the most sophisticated drying methods available. We use a rapid drying technique that stresses proper management of temperature, airflow, and desiccant dehumidification.

Documents Drying

Irreplaceable or valuable books, documents and files damaged by water can all be saved. The faster you react following any type of damage the more successful the restoration efforts will be.

We have a 24-hour emergency service response team that will be on the scene fast and start recovery procedures immediately. Let DRS help you get back on your feet and open for business.

Electrical Equipment & Computer Drying

Your hardware, electrical equipment and computers may be damaged by water as a result of a variety of events, including ground water flooding, fire suppression sprinkler system discharge, roof and pipe leaks, and condensation due to fire suppression steam and other humidity sources. The corrosiveness of water can vary dramatically. While fresh water can be classified to have the least corrosive pH levels, other materials such as oxygen, chemicals and other minerals involved in a water damage situation, can directly influence corrosiveness and its effects. Flood water thus acts very quickly to corrode and destroy your machinery, equipment and computers.

Immediate de-flooding, dehumidification, and loose surface debris removal are thus imperative. The goal in setting up dehumidification should include removing moisture and achieving a relative humidity in the ambient air below 40% within 24 to 48 hours after the surface water is removed. Where acid vapors, hydroscopic impurities, and salt precipitates are not a concern, a reduction of ambient relative humidity to 40% will generally limit corrosive activity.

Wood Floor & Furniture Drying

A wide range of moisture-related deterioration occurs to hardwood floors after a building or home is damaged by water. Wood swells, buckles or in extreme cases, begins to rot.
Proper drying can reverse these problems with the prompt employment of deep drying techniques. In fact, two-inch wooden floors have been dried and gradually returned to their normal condition. The techniques employed include tenting and moisture containment using high-pressure pumps.

Tenting is one of the special techniques used to deliver the proper amount of dry air in the appropriate manner to water-soaked areas. Precise monitoring is critical to the process.

Another special technique for saving hardwood floors involves high-pressure pumps for removing moisture and reversing cupping and buckling.

When your Hardwood Floors are water damaged consider the cost and time of replacement and then give us a call for an estimate on restoration. It’s the easy, fast and affordable way to eliminate permanent water damage.

All Water-Damaged Losses Are Not the Same

September 13, 2011 by Disaster Restoration Singapore

Water Damaged Restoration in Singapore

Water Damage Restoration in Singapore

Are all water-damaged losses the same? What are the different categories of water related losses? Which are the types of losses even worth recovering?

Related Post: Water Damage Restoration Offered by Disaster Restoration Singapore

Reducing water damaged losses

Moisture deterioration occurs after a surface or substrate is water-damaged. Wood will swell or begin to rot after being exposed to stagnant water for some time. False partitions and ceiling boards lose their rigidity and strength. Electronic equipment starts corroding. Painted surfaces start peeling. And the list goes on.

Moisture Management

The key to Moisture Recovery is speed, experience and having the sufficient and right type of tools and drying equipment to mitigate the losses.

Correctly assessing the types of damage and identifying suitable equipment will reduce the response time and increase the chances of recovery to pre-loss condition.

The IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), a USA non-profit restoration association has come up with a schema of 3 categories of contamination to help determine if recovery is recommended.

Categorizations of the level of contamination help in recommending the right plan of action.
The category of water contamination is not determined by the color of the water. Rather, the category is determined by the source, contents, history and characteristics of the water, as described below.

Category 1 – Clean Water

Clean water originates from a source that does not pose substantial harm to humans. Examples of clean water may include, but are not limited to, broken water supply lines, tub or sink overflows with no contaminants, appliance malfunctions involving water supply lines, melting ice or snow, falling rainwater, broken toilet tanks and toilet bowls that do not contain contaminants or additives.

Clean water that has contact with structural surfaces and content materials may deteriorate in cleanliness as it dissolves or mixes with soils and other contaminants after prolonged exposure.

Category 2 – Gray Water

Gray water contains a significant level of contamination and has the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if consumed by or exposed to humans. Gray water carries micro-organisms and nutrients for micro-organisms. Examples of gray water may include, but are not necessarily limited to, discharge from dishwashers or washing machines, overflows from toilet bowls with some urine (no faeces), sump pump failures, seepage due to hydrostatic pressure, broken aquariums and punctured water beds. Gray water may contain chemicals, bio-contaminants (fungal, bacterial, viral, algae) and other forms of contamination including physical hazards.

Time and temperature aggravate Category 2 water contamination levels significantly. Gray water in flooded structures that remains untreated for longer than 48 hours may change to Category 3 – Black Water.

Category 3 – Black Water

Black Water contains pathogenic agents and is highly unsanitary. Black Water includes sewage and other contaminated sources entering or affecting the indoor environment. Category 2 water that is not removed promptly from the structure may be reclassified as Category 3 water. A toilet backflow that originates from beyond the toilet trap is considered black water contamination, regardless of visible content or color.

Category 3 water includes all forms of flooding from seawater, ground surface water and rising water from rivers or streams. Such water sources carry silt and organic matter into structures and create Black Water conditions.

The water is considered to be Category 3 water in situations where structural materials and/or contents have been contaminated with contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, or toxic organic substances.
