Our First Steps in the Water Damage Restoration Process

Once we get there, we will get to work right away to assess the water damage. We will use our industrial-grade fans, wet vacuum, pumps, and other equipment to dry all carpet and indoor surfaces. We will pull up carpet and padding as necessary, but will work to salvage as much as we possibly can. To prevent mold growth, we will clean and dehumidify the affected areas.

Next we will look at your personal belongings such as art, furniture, and books to see what can be restored or salvaged. Our goal is to save as much as we can but we will always be honest with you about the best way to deal with any particular belonging.

Further Steps in the Water Damage Restoration Process

After we have done what we can to stop further damage, we will get to work on the more difficult tasks. This includes:

• Finding the source of the water and determining the true extent of the damage with our moisture detection equipment. There may be water damage in places that you cannot see and this equipment helps us find it so we can provide a comprehensive solution.
• Further damage mitigation. We will continue to take steps to get everything dried and cleaned up so that damage will be minimized as much as possible.
• Prevent moisture intrusion. We know how to find water damage and we know how to prevent further water intrusion.
• Dehumidification and increased ventilation. These are essential steps to prevent mold growth and additional water damage.
• Final inspection. Once we have completed the initial cleaning, drying, and ventilating, we will do another full inspection to ensure we have gotten to everything.
• Repairs and restoration. Once the water has been dealt with, we can look at any repairs that may be needed to get your property back to an operable state.
