WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION OVERVIEW

Water damage can happen when you least expect it and depending on the source, may go on unnoticed for some time. It’s important to call in a water damage remediation team as soon as you notice water, water damage, or a leak, both for the health and safety of the members of your household and to prevent any further damage. 

Water damage can have many different causes such as:

Here are some of the most common things we do ASAP:

DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER

The first order of business is to make sure that the water has stopped. If the source is from plumbing, we may need to shut off water to the house and examine the pipes near the leak. Determining the source is important because some water may be toxic and will need to be handled in a different way. Sewage back-flow for example, or floodwater may require the use of special equipment and practices to make the home safe to enter again.

REMOVE STANDING WATER AND BEGIN DRYING PROCESS

If your house was flooded, we may need to bring in a pump to completely remove the water as well as large commercial dehumidifiers and air-movers and ensure that there is no water left. This is important since water left to sit can quickly begin to rust metal, deteriorate wood, and cause dangerous mold and mildew to grow.

DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE

If you were lucky enough to discover the water leak right away and call us asap, the damage done may be minimal, if you’ve had a hidden leak going on for days, weeks, or months however, or a flooding issue, the damage may be extensive and could involve not just replacing or repairing faulty pipes, water heaters, etc, but also cleaning or replacing flooring, drywall, and wood. We may need to lift flooring, remove carpeting, remove appliances and baseboard and more to discover the full extent of the damage. These measures are vital to ensure that no area of water damage, no matter how small, is left to spread mold spores or to compromise the integrity of your home.

DISPOSE AND REPLACE MATERIALS AND ITEMS

This may involve some demo work, removing and disposing of drywall, flooring and damaged subflooring, cabinetry in the case of an under sink leak, and then replacing these all with new materials, ensuring that the original integrity and appearance is restored. This could involve painting, replacing the baseboard, carpeting, or flooring, cabinets and restoring the appearance of finish work. In addition to restoring the damaged building itself, we will also restore damaged property where possible. We do what we can do prevent unnecessary replacement of building materials. However, if any rebuilding is needed, from minor to structural damage, we have you covered.

Some building contents such as furniture may be damaged beyond repair and will need to be replaced but others may simply need to be cleaned, dried, and have minor cosmetic touch-ups. Wherever possible, we will preserve and repair your original items without compromising safety.
