Step 2: Inspection and Water Damage Assessment
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
When emergency water damage occurs we begin with a detailed inspection of your home or property, including a thorough damage assessment. During the inspection is where we determine the source of loss and what needs to be mitigated. Once source is located we are able to determine what has been affected and/or contaminated. The area is then contained to prevent further contamination from debris or other harmful particles. Upon containing the area our professionals can develop an appropriate plan of action and begin the demolition process. Once demolition is completed we begin our drying process utilizing our high tech industrial moisture reading equipment.
Identify and Stop the Water Source
We will check for the source of moisture in your home or business. The source must be stopped before any restoration or drying of the building can be successful.
- Stop the Source
- Check for Contaminated Water
Identify the Type of Water
We will identify the category and classification of water damage to ensure our professionals restore your property based on industry guidelines. The level of contamination of the water will affect the specific restoration processes we use.
- Category 1: "Clean Water"
- Category 2: "Gray Water"
- Category 3: "Black Water"
Survey the Extent of the Water Damage and Inspect the Premises
We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. In addition, we will inspect for safety concerns that may be evident. If there are any safety issues like lead or asbestos, please bring them to our attention.
