1. Inspection:

Experts in flood restoration will assess the affected area attentively to determine the extent and kind of damage. Flood damage is commonly classified as follows based on the level of water pollution:

Clean Water (Category 1):

This water originates from a clean source, like a dripping faucet or a compromised pipe. It is considered the least harmful to your well-being and has the lowest level of contamination.

Grey Water (Category 2):

This category comprises contaminated water from appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, or toilets overflowing without fecal matter. It may contain impurities such as chemicals, bacteria, or other substances that pose health risks.

Black Water (Category 3):

This type of water is highly contaminated, coming into contact with waste floodwater from rivers or lakes. We pose the most substantial health risk and necessitate additional safety precautions during the restoration process.

2. Water Removal Process:

Once a thorough assessment and classification of the flood damage are completed, our flood restoration team will initiate eliminating any standing water from the affected area.

3. Drying the Premises:

Preventing future damage and mold growth is crucial, so it is vital to ensure the affected area is completely dried once the water has been extracted. Carpet drying uses specialized tools and techniques to achieve comprehensive moisture removal.

4. Recovering Belongings and Items:

After the environment has sufficiently dried, restoration experts focus on preserving belongings and items. Flood Restoration Services strives to save and repair as many personal items as possible using sophisticated restoration methods and cautious handling.

5. Restoration:

The ultimate and pivotal phase in flood restoration is the actual restoration work, often involving the replacement of drywall and insulation materials. In less severe cases, repairing might only entail putting up a few drywall panels.

In instances of more severe flood damage, complete wall replacements might be necessary. We meticulously ensure the elimination of any potential exposure to hazardous substances such as asbestos and lead. Homes constructed over 25 years ago are at a higher risk of containing these toxic materials.

Some water damage incidents can go unnoticed for extended periods, especially concerning minor leaks in drainage pipes or roofs. These leaks create ideal conditions for mold growth in enclosed areas like ceilings. Consequently, the restoration process becomes significantly more labor-intensive and time-consuming in such cases.
