What Water Damage Restoration Involves

Common Causes

Burst pipes, appliance failures, overflowing fixtures, sewer backups and groundwater intrusion can wet building materials.

How Diagnosis Works

The source must be controlled first. Assessment considers the water source, affected materials, contamination and moisture readings before drying and repair.

Repair & Installation Methods

Water extraction, dehumidification, monitored structural drying and removal or repair of unsalvageable materials may be needed. Sewage requires contamination controls.

When Professional Assistance Is Needed

Seek professional assistance for recurring faults, concealed damage, sewage backups or work that requires changes to supply and drainage systems. For active water leaks, isolate the supply if it is safe to do so and call for help as soon as possible.

Water Damage Restoration Services

Water damage can occur following burst pipes, plumbing leaks, sewer backups, appliance failures, overflowing fixtures and basement flooding. When water enters a property, it can affect drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinetry and structural building materials. Water damage restoration focuses on removing unwanted water, assessing affected materials, drying the property and helping restore damaged areas.

Emergency Water Damage Restoration

Emergency water damage restoration addresses unexpected flooding and water damage caused by plumbing failures, burst pipes, leaking appliances and other water-related incidents. Initial response focuses on identifying the water source, controlling additional water entry and assessing the affected areas. Appropriate restoration procedures help limit further deterioration and prepare the property for drying and repairs.

Water Extraction & Removal

Water extraction and removal involves removing standing water from floors, basements, carpets and other affected areas using suitable extraction equipment. Removing excess water promptly is an important step in reducing the amount of moisture absorbed by building materials.

Basement Flood Cleanup

Basement flood cleanup addresses water accumulation caused by plumbing failures, sump pump problems, sewer backups and water intrusion. Services may include standing water removal, affected material assessment, cleaning and drying. The source of the flooding should also be identified to help reduce the chance of repeat incidents.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Structural drying and dehumidification help remove retained moisture from building materials and affected interior spaces following water damage. Professional drying equipment and moisture monitoring can help assess drying progress in drywall, flooring, framing and other materials.

Water-Damaged Drywall Repair

Water-damaged drywall repair involves assessing and repairing wall and ceiling materials affected by leaks, flooding or plumbing failures. Depending on the extent of damage, work may include removing unsalvageable drywall, allowing affected areas to dry, replacing damaged sections and preparing surfaces for finishing.

Water-Damaged Flooring Repair

Water-damaged flooring repair addresses flooring materials affected by leaks, flooding and prolonged moisture exposure. Depending on the material and extent of damage, restoration may involve removing affected flooring, drying the underlying area and installing suitable replacement materials.

Sewer Backup Cleanup

Sewer backup cleanup addresses contamination and property damage caused by wastewater entering a building through drains, toilets and other plumbing fixtures. Because sewage can contain harmful contaminants, affected areas require appropriate protective measures, cleaning and sanitation procedures.

Mold Prevention Following Water Damage

Mold prevention following water damage focuses on addressing moisture conditions that can contribute to microbial growth. Proper water removal, drying, moisture monitoring and removal of unsuitable materials are important steps. Existing suspected mold contamination may require specialized assessment and remediation.
