Water Damage in Religious Centers

 

Damage from water happens at any time and anywhere - even in sacred places.

What To Do If Water Damage Happens in a House of Worship

Even though it does not happen often, places of worship like churches and synagogues may experience severe water damage from time to time. Usually, when there is an absence of regular on-site personnel, even a large square foot space is a perfect place to soak up any water that may be intruding. There are pews and multiple rooms and chambers to consider, as well as tall ceilings and the health and safety of your religious leaders and members.

Who else is capable of handling damage and extraction services so your worship services may continue, and you can serve your community? The answer is to give Live Green Restoration a call for all your water damage services and needs.

Respectability is key

The place where you worship is a very sacred place, and we understand that. Our water damage technicians are not only trained, but they also understand that customer service and respectability are core points that create a winning team. You can trust the LGR team to do their job in the most sensitive way possible – it will be like we are not even there.   

Each of us is part of a melting pot of different perspectives/ beliefs and we recognize that as an amazing thing. It does not matter what anyone else’s background is since we can all learn from each other. That is why when you choose to work with Live Green Restoration, you will be working with technicians with the utmost respect for your sacred place of worship.

We offer 24-hour emergency services

Live Green Restoration is Southern California’s #1 emergency water restoration company that offers extraction services. Our 24-hour service is always available because water damage is not usually a planned event. Our entire team follows an entire procedure that we put in place, from individual evaluations and investigations to water removal, drying, and cleaning/repair work. Creating a game plan and working step by step ensures nothing is missed.

Church leaders and organizers alike may think they have to wait until Monday to call us about a water intrusion that has happened, but we are always available to you - even on a Sunday. Water damage never waits until a weekday during office hours to happen, so why should you?! You are always welcome to inquire with us regarding any questions you may have about our services or any advice we can give you.  

Access to professional equipment needed for water extraction and remediation 

Not a lot of companies have the capability to safely remove so much water without causing more damage. Industrial dehumidifiers, fans, and desiccants all aid in the removal of water from multiple materials. There are also other pieces of equipment necessary to determine all the water has been removed and drying can start, such as cameras, water pumps, and moisture readers. Misuse of any of this water extraction equipment can lead to over-drying, which causes more problems and repairs.

The pieces of equipment listed above are all technologies we possess. We have been trained in using them and always inspect them before they’re used for cleanliness as well as for optimal use. This is especially important for any big water extraction jobs in commercial buildings.

The drying process is part of the process 

If you have ever experienced water damage before, you understand the headaches and stress that can come with it. This will not happen when you work with Live Green Restoration. After the initial inspection, evaluation, and water extraction from the affected areas, the fact is it takes a few days to fully dry, depending on each unique situation.

Every day after the initial water damage incident, we will go back to check on how the affected area is drying. If for example, it has saturated a room with carpet and we can save it, we will place our commercial-grade fans and dehumidifiers to dry up the area. We will check on those machines and record things like the humidity percentage and check the wettest areas with our moisture checkers. This will help us understand what temperature the room needs to be fully dry. Again, we understand the science of drying and it is our job to bring the area in your place of worship back to the way it was before the damage was done.     

We have experience with insurance claims

Depending on the kind of loss your church has, it may be covered by insurance. We have worked with dozens of insurance companies for claims in areas such as West Los Angeles, Palmdale, Lancaster, and even Santa Clarita. We can assist with that process due to our team’s understanding of insurance claim terminology and the need for documentation of specific work completed. Moisture readings, measurements of the structure, pieces of the structure removed, and sketches of the property are typically needed to process your claim quickly, so the restoration work is covered!

Please inquire with us regarding claims and working with adjusters. Our team may just have personal relationships with certain insurance companies and can help you through the claims process. Get in contact with us to get more information on our experience with the insurance claims we do, what the process is, and how we can make this water damage experience as smooth as possible.
