Our Water Damage Restoration Process

1. Stop the source and make the area safe, shut off any utilities, remove slip hazards, and set up basic containment.
2. Inspect and document photos, sketches, and moisture mapping with professional meters.
3. Extract standing water with commercial-grade water extractors.
4. Protect contents, move or pack-out items, and log damage for insurance.
5. Remove unsalvageable materials, drywall, baseboards, carpet pad, and cut clean lines. Vent wall cavities for efficient drying.
6. Set commercial dehumidifiers and high-volume air movers. Balance equipment to reach pre-loss moisture targets.
7. Monitor daily, record readings, and adjust equipment placement until materials reach dry standards per IICRC S500.
8. Apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial where appropriate. Target possible microbial growth if there are any areas of concern.
9. Verify everything is dry, do a final clean, odor check, and walkthrough. Provide a completion report to your insurance.

We bill directly to the insurance company, and in most cases, with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

The Categories of Water Damage

Water damage is described and classified by categories. There are 3 categories of water damage, and these categories are defined by the contamination levels made possible by the extent of the damage and the kind of water that caused it:

Category 3 – damage caused by unsanitary water or “black water.” This is the most serious kind of water damage, and can come from sewer damage, floodwaters from rivers, streams, or seawater, or stormwater. This water often contains harmful bacteria and microorganisms. It is imperative that this type of damage is contained and cleaned up as soon as possible as it can be very harmful to humans.

Leaving any type of water damage untreated can lead to mold growth, proliferation of dangerous bacteria, hazards from weakened drywall, flooring, and other structures, and attractions for rodents and other pests. These symptoms will not get better over time, they need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Calling a professional water damage restoration company immediately is essential to preserve health and structural integrity of homes and business properties. In many cases, the cost of water damage restoration is covered by insurance.
