The First 24 Hours of Water Damage Restoration Matter
Those first 24 hours after water damage are some of the most important hours there are. The thing is, time is not your friend here. The longer that water sits, the more damage it can cause to things like floors, walls, wood structure, wiring, and so on.
Flooring can start to warp. Drywall will begin to disintegrate. Wood can start to rot. Mold spores will begin to activate. This is why we offer 24/7 emergency responses for water damage. We mobilize quickly to get started right away.
Step 1: Assess Water Damage Restoration Needs
The first thing we will do is assess the damage as well as any safety elements. We always prioritize safety to prevent electrical risks or hazardous exposures. Our technicians will use the proper safety gear to gauge the situation and determine what needs to happen based on that assessment. It gives us a clear idea of just what we are dealing with so we can respond accordingly.
Step 2: Water Extraction and Removal
Because we offer professional services for water damage, we have all the right training and equipment to get things moving. Using our powerful industrial pumps and vacuums, we will start removing any standing water from your property. Here, we’re trying to get the excess water out as fast as possible to help stop the spread of water and the damage it can cause.
Step 3: Drying and Dehumidification
When the excess water is gone, things need to dry out. It’s not just the visibly damp or wet spots that have to be addressed. Moisture will remain hidden in the walls, floors, and other materials of your property. We use professional drying equipment to quickly start evaporating water, dehumidifying the space, increasing airflow, and drying everything out.
This phase sometimes takes several days. it’s important that every little thing is fully dried out.
Step 4: Cleaning and Sanitizing
We will clean and sanitize all items, materials, and surfaces that were impacted by water damage. Water can often bring or spread bacteria. It can also spread mold or mildew. This step is so important to help prevent mold growth, as well as to ensure safety and cleanliness of the space.
Step 5: Structural Restoration and Repairs
Once things are dry and sanitized, we can start putting everything back together. In this step we will do whatever is needed to restore your space to its pre-loss condition. That might include new flooring, replacing insulation or drywall, painting, and more.
