Water Damage Restoration

Water damage is a broad term that refers to damage that occurs when water leakage or excessive rain and flooding cause water damage. The damage to your home or building might be minor, but they can also be severe and cause many other problems when not dealt with quickly. The causes of water damage in a home or building can include water leaks, water pipe burst, storm damage, water damage from firefighting efforts, water damage caused by ice or water seepage during construction of a building and water damage caused when excessive rain (flooding) causes water to damage the contents in a home.

Water damage restoration involves dealing with water that has already been spilled, leaks from pipes and fixtures, flooding, water purification and dehumidifier systems to prevent mold growth. Water damage restoration in Santa Ana requires special attention because water damage causes water to transfer through a building and water can spread out through all the air ducts. The water needs to be dried out as soon as possible so mold won’t grow. Dehumidifiers are used in water-damaged areas so that water does not continue to create a moist environment, which would make it easier for mold to grow. Water damage restoration involves water removal from carpets, subfloors and drywall.

Water Damage Restoration Process in Santa Ana, California

Water extraction is done in several steps. The two primary steps include:

Water Detection: We find water using water detection equipment such as sensors or water-detecting probes. The water damage restoration crew will then use a water pump to extract the water and water-damaged materials to a water-containment pit in the center of the water removal zone.

Water Removal: The water removal step of water damage restoration is essential for water damage cleanup, water extraction, water removal and flood water cleanup. This water can cause mold in the carpets and structural elements of a home. Even if there are no visible signs of water, it is crucial to use fans and dehumidifiers to reduce humidity.

In water damage restoration, we typically remove water with large fans placed on floor joists at no more than ten feet apart; this provides maximum drying area and helps prevent hidden water from later surfacing in other areas. The team at H2O Mold Remediation Gurus of Santa Ana are the experts you should call for your water damage restoration services. We have years of experience in water damage restoration and will help you return your home or building to the excellent living condition it was in before the damage.

Mold Remediation

Mold is a water-dwelling fungus that can grow almost anywhere water is present. Mold is also referred to as mildew or mold spores, which are found on surfaces everywhere. It’s typically green or black in color and grows best in dark wet areas with abundant nutrients and moisture. The growth of mold in your home could signify that water damage has occurred somewhere in your home. Mold spores float through the air and spread into your home, where they can multiply. Mold is a concern because it causes adverse health effects on the people exposed to it. It irritates eyes and lungs, triggers allergies, induces asthma attacks and can even cause life-threatening infections in already weak or older people.

Mold is also dangerous to your family’s pets and belongings because it can damage wood, fabric, carpeting, insulation, water-based paint and many more. You will need a thorough water extraction and mold remediation service from the H2O Mold Restoration Gurus of Santa Ana. Mold remediation is essential to water damage restoration because removing water alone will not get rid of mold. Mold remediation requires water extraction, air filtration and the use of anti-fungal or biocidal chemicals to eliminate mold odors. We at H2O Mold Restoration Gurus of Santa Ana are experts in water damage restoration and mold removal.

Mold Remediation Process Used by H2O Mold Restoration Gurus of Santa Ana

The mold removal process starts with mold detection. We begin by carrying out tests to determine if mold is present in your home and if so, how bad the mold infestation in your home is. These tests include water testing to detect water damage. During water damage restoration, we extract water from the wet materials in your home.

Then we work to eliminate mold odors and ensure that we remove mold spores from your indoor air. We use anti-fungal chemicals or microbial biocides to kill mold spores that are in water-damaged areas and on water-logged materials. We carefully remove water from walls, carpets, upholstery and other water-affected surfaces using our HEPA vacuuming system.

We have the specialized equipment needed to eliminate mold infestation from your home following water damage restoration. While mold doesn’t infest a home or building only after water damage, when water damage occurs, it’s best to eliminate mold as soon as possible. Water does not get rid of mold. Water provides the perfect environment for mold growth. The longer water sits on a surface, the more opportunity for mold to grow and spread to other rooms. When carrying out water removal and restoration services, we ensure that no part of your home is conducive to mold growth.

Fire Damage Restoration

Fire damages occur when a home or building (or parts of it) has experienced a fire outbreak resulting in damage to the structure and properties. Fire damage and water damage are two completely different things – water damage is caused by water that has flooded an area or soaked part of a property. Fire is the rapid oxidation of materials in the presence of heat. This can be through lighting or flammable liquids catching on fire or any other means. Sometimes, when there’s a fire outbreak, you might also experience water damage because the fire service that puts out the fire will do so using water. The causes of fire damage can include faulty electrical wiring, portable heaters being too close to flammable materials, short circuits in electric units and water heaters that overflow. There are other causes, but the above are the most common.

Fire Damage Restoration Process in Santa Ana, CA

Fire damage restoration involves dealing with the mess created by the combination of ash, smoke, water and chemical retardants left behind after a fire outbreak and the quenching of the fire. The fire damage restoration process involves water extraction and water removal, water mitigation, fire damage cleanup, reconstruction of fire-damaged areas that cannot be restored to the original form, such as rebuilding a burned down home and mold remediation. The objective is to restore your home or building to its pre-fire-damage state. As water eliminates fire, the water and fire restoration process after a fire can be very challenging. We always advise you to refrain from attempting the cleanup and restoration yourself because of the harmful chemicals in the environment. Fire can cause toxic by-products that are dangerous to humans and animals. These chemicals can include aldehydes and hydrochloric acid generated when water comes in contact with burning plastic. It would be best to leave it for the professionals to prevent further damage to your home or building and health. At

California Water raises offer to buy SJW Group

#CaliforniaWater raises offer to buy #SJWGroup

California Water Service Group (CWT.N) said on Monday it raised an all-cash offer to buy SJW Group (SJW.N) by nearly 3 percent, the latest attempt to woo its fellow California utility out of a proposed tie-up with Connecticut Water Service Inc (CTWS.O).

The trio form part of a four-way merger battle begun in March when SJW announced a planned combination with Connecticut Water, a move that drew…

Issue: California's Twin tunnel project that would be built under the Sacramento- San Joaquin River Delta that would supply water to aqueducts/farms of California.

For the WaterFix project:

California's Gov. Jerry Brown - because its the best and most affordable long term plan to the states water problems.

The Public- a recant poll showed that 78% of the states population think that the project is important for the future of the people as well as the economic life line of the state

Outside Agencies- outside agencies are investing in the project so they can enjoy the benefits of a reliable and secure supply

Republican Ken Calvert - Calvert is the  chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee for the Interior Department put a clause in the state draft of the 2019 spending bill that would  ban environmental lawsuits against the project.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/water-and-drought/delta/article211161939.html

Opposed to the WaterFix project:

More than 50 people and groups have sued over various aspects of the project.

https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/editorials/article211679619.html

Environmental and anti-tunnel groups  - opposed of Calvert's clause in the spending bill, because they think that the \Republicans are trying to silence tunnel opponents.  

Elected officials in the Sacramento - the elected officials in Sacramento that oppose of the WaterFix project have formed an alliance called the  Delta Counties Coalition which is dedicated to fighting the Gov. Browns tunnel project.

Sacramento County- filed a suite against the project saying that the state Department of Water Resources is ignoring the environmental harm the tunnels will create in the Delta.  

Placer County Water Agency - they have filed a lawsuit against the project 

The Cities of Stockton and Antioch - Have also filed a suite against the the project

I attended a class on California water, today, and while it didn’t go over anything super-revealing, it did create a context for me to really appreciate how fucking insane and amazing California is. This humongous economy, and the largest population in the nation, housed by two of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, was built on aqueducts. We engineered this... to a large degree. This is bigger than most people realize. California didn’t just happen. It was fucking made. 

This state is one of the few states I’d consider living in, and it came about by deliberate planning, grand vision, and huge investments. By rerouting water all over the state, we have literally shifted the landscape. 

Without this reorganization of water resources, we would barely harbor any agriculture. Would the culture of food we have here, owed to the close proximity we have to our productive farmland, have come about? Would the wine industry even exist? 

San Francisco and Los Angeles would not have been the huge population centers they are. I wonder where people would have settled in California, then? Would the Owen’s Valley that Los Angeles took water rights from have turned into an inland metropolis? Would people have simply moved to other cities? What would the Californian coast look like? Is it even reasonable to think that we could have continued on without aqueducts eventually coming about from demand?

With all the water that we have here, would there even be any way to use these resources without this deliberate and massive infrastructure, considering we get most of our precipitation in only a few months out of the year? I’m fascinated by thinking about what the alternative to our reality would look like. I’m impressed by what Californians have accomplished. It’s worth saying that a lot of this infrastructure came about by deliberate lies and sneaky tactics, and maybe that isn’t commendable. Also, water regulation and rights in the west... I don’t understand them yet but they sound really inconsisent, and, uh, maybe non-existent. So a lot of this was possible because of weak laws, as well. Still, it’s hard to look at all this over 100 years later and not pause in astonishment at where we are because of this.

The Devastating Impacts of the Delta Tunnels

• Hundreds of wildlife & plant species: Without adequate amounts of water, there will be no habitat. Consequently the population of hundreds of species such as the endangered Chinook Salmon and the Greater Sandhill Cranes will become decimated or extinct due to a diminishing food-web. Wildlife, such as the South Pacific Puget Sound Orca Whales, that depend on migrating Delta species will also face near extinction. • Delta & Coastal fisheries: Fisheries are dependent on thriving wildlife. This historic industry is worth billions annually, with the salmon industry worth $1.5 billion annually alone. Thousands of jobs and livelihoods are tied to these industries. Environmental justice communities who depend on subsistence fishing will also face food and health insecurities as a result of increased contaminants and loss in fish and wildlife populations. • Tourism in San Francisco Bay: No analysis has been done on how the lack of fresh water flows will impact San Francisco’s coastal and Pier tourism and recreation. These industries depend on Delta fresh water flows for their crab and salmon fisheries, wildlife sighting, boating, and their restaurant economy. This industry is worth billions annually. • Delta’s $5.2 billion agricultural economy: Farmers cannot irrigate crops with salt water and they certainly cannot plant crops in contaminated soils, which will happen as a result of salinity intrusion. The Delta Ag economy, which consists of generations of family farms and farm workers, will be out of work. • Delta’s $750 million recreation & tourism economy: The operation and construction of the tunnels will obstruct and disable navigable water ways for boating, marinas and other types of leisure activities, in addition to creating conditions of low water flow that will foster invasive aquatic species, such as water hyacinth. Poor water quality also creates unsafe recreation. • Public health of cities & communities in the Delta: Tunnels will cause increased contamination of municipal water, discharge systems and wells for the millions of rural and urban residents living in the five Delta counties. Contra Costa County Water District stated that BDCP failed to model for potential increases of carcinogens and other formation of byproducts that would cause cancer and other serious health effects. Rural towns such as Hood and Byron will have to relocate due to exposure to cancer causing contaminants during construction.
