The Importance of Water Damage Restoration After a Storm

Zack Klein • July 3, 2024

It is critical to start restoration work as soon as possible after a storm in order to prevent further damage, save possessions, and get your impacted properties back to normal. This is why it's very important to restore storm-related water damage as soon as possible.


Preventing Mold and Mildew from Water Damage

Water damage provides the ideal environment for the growth of mold and mildew, which can begin as soon as 24 to 48 hours after being exposed to moisture. Prompt restoration actions can stop mold and mildew from growing and causing additional damage to the property.


Preserving Structural Integrity After Water Damage

Water can cause a building's structural integrity to deteriorate over time, causing building materials to rot. The structural integrity of the property can be preserved and prevent major repairs or even destruction.


Protecting Belongings and Personal Property from Water Damage

Furniture, electronics, and other possessions can all suffer greatly from water damage. Early restoration work can minimize losses and reduce the financial burden. Expert restoration companies possess the knowledge and tools necessary to evaluate damage, save possessions, and efficiently manage the restoration procedure.


Preventing Secondary Damage from Water

Secondary problems from water damage include electrical dangers, tainted water, and poor air quality. Early resolution of these problems through prompt restoration efforts can minimize the possibility of further damage and potential health risks.


Following a hurricane or storm, fast response is essential to minimizing more damage, maintaining structure integrity, safeguarding personal property, averting secondary damage, and rapidly returning to normalcy. Guarantee Restoration Services is here to help prepare before a storm, and repair and restore after one.

Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
