What is That Smell?

"I can do it! It’s only a little water in my basement. It’s easy to dry myself. I have a shop vac, a couple fans and a dehumidifier from a big box-store. What can go wrong?"…(a few days pass)… "OK, now there is little carpet staining and a musty odor. No big deal. I will just call a carpet cleaner." WRONG…

They DIY (do it yourself) population is expanding due to the economy. Many of us will do anything we can do to save a buck. If this includes "drying" our own basement after a water loss, so be it. Unfortunately, this situation will not always work out the best for the DIY crowd.

Water can be very destructive to a property if not managed correctly. There is a reason you do not want 3 inches of it in your basement. Contamination, microbial growth, and rot are almost inevitable. Professional water damage restoration companies are specifically equipped and trained to handle such situations.
