Water Damage Restoration Service

It is likely that you will be asked a number of questions, including providing your contact information, insurance details, the address of the damaged business or home, a short explanation of what happened and what damage has occurred, and whether there is electricity is still running at the property. These questions allow our technicians to begin working immediately upon arrival. Our team will inspect the damage on their own, so don’t worry if you don’t know the full extent of it. It’s generally not possible to know the full extent of damage unless you’re a trained professional so don’t stress. We’ve got you covered!

#2 – Through Inspection/Assessment

The technician(s) will inspect the water-damaged area at your home or business during this step. We have expertly trained team members who can thoroughly assess both the cause and extent of the damage. In order to help with this process, we ask that you help answer questions about plumbing, water shutoff valves, and other aspects of your home or business. The following elements make up this step in the water remediation process:

Safety Assessment
Safety is the first step. Particularly, our team will determine if there is a risk of electrocution. There may be a need for the technician to shut off the power to an area or structure if there is significant water or electrical wiring nearby. A technician may also need to inspect the area for structural stability if the damage is severe.

Determine Where The Water Coming From
The next step is to identify where the water is coming from. Stopping additional water from entering the area includes turning off the water supply.

Water Grade Level Assessment
The technician will examine the water once the area has been deemed safe. The process includes determining whether the water is contaminated. This helps in determining the specifics of the remediation process that will be carried out.

Assess Level of Water Damage
This is also the stage during which the technician will assess the extent of the damage the water has caused. In addition to checking for exposed lead or asbestos (generally in older homes), additional safety concerns must also be addressed.

Other
As a final step, the technician will investigate any concerns specific to the situation. Such as any furniture that could easily be moved to avoid further damage for example.

#3 – Removing the Water

Immediately following the inspection, the water needs to be removed. In order to accelerate the drying process, our technicians thoroughly extract the water. Mold and secondary water damage can both be minimized through this step. For optimal performance, we combine submersible pumps, and industrial-strength vacuum cleaners specifically designed for water extraction, dehumidifiers, and water analysis tools. Having access to proper equipment, along with our expertise, allows us to achieve results not possible through DIY or working with a non-specialist. Our inspections continue throughout this process as we gain access and gain a better understanding of the damage. Sitting water poses a number of risks, but we try to minimize further damage by working as quickly as possible.

#4 – Drying The Area Out

Despite the water being removed, walls, floors, and furniture still have dampness. This can cause problems and be a challenge. Warping, swelling, and other damages can result from water retention in these materials. In addition, mold can grow on anything that is damp for an extended period of time. This is a potential health hazard. Industrial-strength dehumidifiers are used to combat this problem. In addition to removing dampness from the air, we have specialized tools that can be used on floors and walls as well. To ensure that the process is proceeding correctly, we monitor the progress constantly using specialized tools.

#5 – Cleaning Process
Following the drying of the affected area, some dirt, odor, and microbes still need to be removed. Particularly if the water was contaminated, such from a toilet that backup up. Antimicrobial and antibacterial treatments will be used to sanitize all affected areas. When it comes to water damage restoration, the most important thing is to ensure the area is safe. An important part of getting back to that pre-damaged state is a proper sanitization process. Which we implement. Furthermore, all affected items will be assessed for cleaning and restoration. Our company utilizes dry cleaning, wet cleaning, abrasive scrubs, and other methods to save as many of your possessions as possible. Refuse will also be disposed of when necessary. In layman’s terms, what needs to be thrown out will also be taken care of by our team.

#6 – Mitigation of the Water Damage
Repairing the damage caused by the water is the final remediation step. The cleaning process ends and this step starts right after. Our company provides some repairs for minor building damage. In addition, our technicians are trained and certified to provide emergency services, such as boarding up, tarping, moving, and fencing off residential and commercial properties which have been damaged. Then significant structural damage has occurred, a contractor may be required to repair it. If you need help finding the right help and a detailed assessment to ensure the success of your reconstruction, we can help. Don’t stress out about this. We have many partners that we work with to help with this part.

In order for you to fully understand what has been done, we will walk you through the assessment. Furthermore, we will answer any questions you may have about the next steps.
