How does our water damage restoration service work?

 

There are 3 main phases to any water mitigation job:

 

1. Property Assessment

Our first priority is determine the extent of damage, documenting everything for insurance purposes, and then laying out a comprehensive mitigation plan.  In other words, here are the things we’ll need to do to get the property dried out and restored.

 

2. Water Mitigation

Once you sign off on the plan, we begin work.  This phase is designed to get out all of the moisture that was introduced during the flooding.  We contain the loss first, meaning we suck up and extract any standing water before it spreads to other parts of your property. We then dry out the remaining moisture that has become trapped in walls, floors and any other surface.  The goal in this phase is to dry out the structure fully before black mold forms.

 

3. Water Damage Repair

Often called the ‘build back’ process, this is the process where we reconstruct any sections of the home that needed to be removed in order to properly dry out the structure.  Things like drywall, carpets, or any other surface that need to be replaced will be done at this point before the job is consider complete!

Common tips for preventing home water damage

 

Let’s face it, some losses simply can’t be avoided. But in many instances, we find that simple maintenance could have gone a long way in keeping the homeowner out of the unfortunate situation they found themselves in. Here’s some things to consider doing if you haven’t already to make sure this water damage emergency is your last!

Gutters keep water away from your house so that it can’t find its way into your home.   regularly ensures they are able to do their job! You also want to make sure that you have properly installed downspouts that allow the water to be disposed at least 7-10 feet away from your foundation!

 

Maintain your appliances!

Any appliance that has a water line feeding into it is at risk of malfunctioning and flooding your home. Some of the common causes of water damage from appliances include:

() refrigerator water line disconnecting – once a year, pull your fridge out and make sure the water line is properly connected and not at risk of coming loose.

() water heater leaking – water heaters, especially if they are operating beyond their typical lifespan (7-10 years), are . Properly maintaining your water heater includes having a plumber inspect and troubleshoot the system every couple of years as well as emptying the tank and refilling with fresh water a couple of times a year.

() washing machine hoses disconnecting – this one can be devastating simply due to the amount of water that can be emitted within a few seconds of the hoses disconnecting. To help prevent this from happening, make sure they are securely fastened and that they are replaced once every 5 years or so.

 

Maintain your main sewer line!

One of the biggest causes of water damage is from backed up main sewer line or an overflow situation. If water that is supposed to leave your home can’t find its way out, guess what? It will find its way back into your home. In some instances, can be a result of storm water that can’t be properly disposed of by the city sewer system finding its way into your home. If you haven’t already, make sure you install a backflow prevention device to help protect against this situation.
