Our team members are expertly trained to thoroughly assess both the problem causing the water and the level of damage. You can assist with this process by answering questions about plumbing, water shutoff valves, and other aspects of your home or business. These are the elements of this water remediation step:

Assess Safety

The first step is to ensure safety. In particular, they will determine if there is a risk of electrocution. If there is significant water and/or it is near electrical wiring, the technician may need to shut off the power to the area or structure. Additionally, if the damage is very severe, the technician may need to ensure that the area is structurally secure enough for work.

Identify Source

Next, they will identify where the water is coming from. This includes stopping any additional water from entering the area by shutting it off.

Assess the Water

Once the area is safe the water is shut off, the technician will examine the water. This includes determining whether the water is contaminated. This assessment determines some of the specifics of the remediation process.

Assess the Water Damage

During this stage, the technician will also assess the extent of the damage. This includes checking for additional safety concerns such as lead or asbestos.

Other Inspections

Finally, the technician will check for any situation-specific concerns. For example, he or she may identify and move any furniture that may cause rust stains on carpets.

After the inspection, the next step is to remove the water. By thoroughly extracting the water, our technicians help to ensure that the drying process is faster and more complete. This is essential for minimizing the risk of mold and secondary water damage.

We use a combination of submersible pumps, industrial-strength wet vacuums, dehumidifiers, and water analysis tools to ensure optimal performance. In addition to our expertise, our access to proper equipment helps us to offer results that are simply not attainable through DIY or working with a non-specialist.

During this process, we also continue to perform inspections as we get greater access and a clearer picture of the damage. We work quickly to help minimize the risks associated with sitting water.

Following the water removal, there is still the challenge of dampness soaking into walls, floors, and furniture. Water retained in these can cause warping, swelling, and other damage. Additionally, anything that is damp for an extended period can start to grow mold.

To combat this, we use industrial-strength dehumidifiers. We have specialized tools that can help us remove dampness from the air as well as from specific items such as floors and walls. Additionally, we constantly monitor the progress using specialized tools to ensure that the process is proceeding correctly.

Once the affected area is dry, there is likely still some dirt, odor, and microbes that need to be taken care of. This is especially true if the water is contaminated. We will sanitize all affected areas using antimicrobial and antibacterial treatments.

Our most significant priority in water damage restoration is making sure the area is safe. Proper sanitization is a key part of them.

Additionally, we will assess all the affected items to determine what can be cleaned and restored. We try to save as much as possible using dry cleaning, wet cleaning, abrasive scrubs, and more. When necessary, we will also dispose of refuse.

The final remediation step is to repair the damage caused by the water as much as possible. This should start right after the cleaning process is done. We are able to provide some repairs to minor building damage.
