Understanding Water Damage Restoration

Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Our process follows detailed water damage restoration steps to ensure we meet industry best practices at every stage:
Sometimes the source of the water damage is obvious and sometimes it is hard to find. Regardless, the first step is to identify the source of the water damage and then stop that source from making the situation worse.
This critical step both ensures that all water damage is properly mitigated, which protects you from future mold and other residual problems, and prevents the water damage from spreading to other areas of your property during the mitigation. Water has a unique ability to spread and find its way into and through most surfaces, walls, floors, and other obstructions. Many times it is not apparent to the naked eye or even touch where water damage has occurred. This is why we use moisture meters and thermal cameras to identify all the affected areas. Proper containment keeps the damage localized and protects you from residual problems in the future.
Depending on the amount of water damage caused, some materials such as flooring, subfloor, and drywall may need to be demolished and removed from the affected area in order to salvage the framing and substructure and to prevent bacterial infection and mold. This step is not always necessary, but often is in water disasters that involve a large volume of water or disasters that involve black, or dirty, water from backed up sewage or the outside. Furthermore, in any demolition situation, our crew will carefully separate and store your personal property. Some may be salvageable and some may not. Our expert team will be able to help you understand what is destroyed and what can be saved. The items that can be saved or remained unaffected will be carefully stored outside the affected area. Destroyed items will be disposed of.
At this point, the affected area is ready for water extraction and drying. Our certified team will extract any standing water, begin the drying process of the affected area, and treat the affected area to prevent bacteria and mold. Though times can vary dramatically, this process normally takes three or four days.
Once your property is dry and contaminant free, you will work with your assigned project manager to make your home right again. Your project manager works with you closely to provide options to rebuild the destroyed parts of the affected area. Because of the volume of materials we buy from wholesalers, we often get incredible deals on a variety of things such as flooring, painting, and cabinets, but we pass the savings to you. Even though your insurance company will pay the cost of the rebuild, our awesome deals usually allow our customers to take advantage of their disaster as an opportunity to make upgrades within the scope of their water damage claim. Once you have worked out what you want with your project manager, he or she will oversee that your affected area is rebuilt to your specification and satisfaction. At Water Removal Services, our job is not done until you walk through the end result and sign a certificate of completion, indicating your satisfaction with our services.
