Water Extraction Cost Among Highest Recovery Expenses
If you’ve lived in Colorado for long, chances are you know someone whose basement has flooded. Maybe yours flooded. So you know that getting the water out fast, getting the structure dried and getting repairs made fast are critical to reducing recovery expense. Cutting water extraction cost is among the easiest and most effective ways to lower overall water damage restoration costs. Here are some keys to avoiding or reducing water extraction cost.
Keep Your Property Well Maintained
The best way to reduce water extraction cost is to reduce the volume of water necessary to extract (or avoid it completely). Your property and its structures were designed with numerous waterhandling features and characteristics. Make sure they all work properly and can manage a reasonable volume of storm or thaw runoff, as well protect structures from groundwater intrusion into basements and subsurface crawlspaces. Check French drains, drainage ditches, gutters, downspouts and other water management features for proper construction and operation (clean gutters, downspouts directed at least 6 feet away from foundations, etc.). Ensure that basement sump pumps are in good working order (no more than 10 years old) and that they come on automatically under backup power.
Update Property Water Handling Features
If you have an older property, consider updating gutters and downspouts to ensure proper waterhandling capacity. If your property has low areas near structures where water collects and threatens to seep into basements or undermine foundations, install drainage such as a simple, lined ditch or French drain to reduce the possibility of structural water intrusion. It warrants saying again: the best way to cut water extraction cost is to avoid needing water extraction.
