Severe unexpected rainfall can lead to excess flooding in your home or business. Water damage restoration companies are experienced at rehabilitating water-logged spaces, drying out walls and flooring, performing mold remediation if necessary, checking on potential electrical issues, and, in general, making the space safe for living or working again. The guide below looks closer at the process involved.

Inspection & Estimate

Water damage restoration professionals will detect the extent of the damage from moisture by using thermal cameras and laser measurement devices. After they’ve assessed the destruction, the technicians will write up a quote. This includes the cost of demolition, drying, and removal of items. Some companies will cover a rebuild estimate. Speak to your insurance company to know what’s covered.

Removal & Drying

After, the team will start to remove water-soaked items. They will also use equipment to reclaim stagnant water, so it doesn’t seep into the floorboards. Tarps will be placed around the water damaged area, so fans, dehumidifiers, and space heaters can focus their attention on the affected room, instead of the whole house.

Air Quality Testing

Moisture can lead to wood rot and cause mold to develop on drywall. Your team will check for other toxic substances, like asbestos and lead, before removing or treating the damaged sections of wall for your safety. After clean-up is complete and the wall restored, the technicians will recheck the air to ensure the home is safe to live in before you move back in. 

Restoration & Completion

Technicians will lay new flooring, new panels of drywall, and make your home look like the damage didn’t occur. The equipment will be removed from the house and the contractor will contact the owner to ensure the work is done up to their standard.
