Water Damage Restoration Services – Detailed Scope
​
Water damage restoration involves a structured, technical process aimed at stopping damage at its source, restoring affected areas, and preventing long-term structural and health issues. This is not just cleanup—it is controlled mitigation and recovery.
​
Our water damage restoration services typically include:
​
-
Initial Assessment and Damage Evaluation
We identify the source of water intrusion (burst pipes, leaks, sewer backup, appliance failure, flooding) and assess the extent of damage to structural components, finishes, and contents. Moisture readings are taken to determine affected areas that may not be visible. -
Emergency Water Shutoff and Mitigation
If required, we isolate and shut down water sources immediately to prevent further damage. Temporary measures are implemented to stabilize the property and protect unaffected areas. -
Water Extraction and Removal
Standing water is removed using professional-grade extraction equipment. This step is critical to reduce saturation levels and limit secondary damage such as material breakdown and microbial growth. -
Structural Drying and Dehumidification
We perform controlled drying using air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture monitoring. Floors, walls, framing, insulation, and subfloors are dried to industry-accepted moisture levels to prevent warping, rot, and mold development. -
Selective Demolition and Material Removal
Damaged materials that cannot be salvaged—such as drywall, insulation, flooring, or cabinetry—are safely removed. This process is done strategically to preserve as much of the structure as possible while ensuring proper drying and remediation. -
Moisture Control and Mold Prevention
We address conditions that promote mold growth by eliminating excess moisture, treating affected surfaces when required, and ensuring proper airflow and ventilation throughout the drying process. -
Sanitization and Cleaning
Affected areas are cleaned and sanitized, particularly in cases involving contaminated or Category 2/3 water (grey or black water). This ensures the space is safe for re-occupancy. -
Repair and Restoration Coordination
Once mitigation is complete, we coordinate or perform repairs to restore the property to pre-loss condition. This may include drywall repair, flooring replacement, baseboards, painting, plumbing repairs, and finish work. -
Documentation and Insurance Support
Detailed documentation of damage, drying logs, and work performed can be provided to support insurance claims and restoration requirements.
Bottom Line:
Water damage restoration is about fast response, technical execution, and proper sequencing. When done correctly, it prevents structural failure, health risks, and costly future repairs—restoring the property safely, efficiently, and professionally.
