Our Water Damage Remediation Process.
By following the guidelines outlined in the IICRC S-500 Standard, professional restoration companies can effectively mitigate water damage and restore properties to pre-loss conditions in a safe and efficient manner.
Emergency Contact
The process begins with the property owner contacting a professional restoration company equipped to handle water damage emergencies. Quick response is crucial to minimize damage.
Inspection and Damage Assessment
Upon arrival, the restoration professionals conduct a comprehensive inspection of the affected area to assess the extent of the water damage. This includes determining the category and class of water damage, identifying potential safety hazards, and developing a remediation plan.
Water Extraction
The next step involves removing standing water from the property using specialized equipment such as pumps, wet vacuums, and dehumidifiers. This helps prevent further damage and mold growth.
Drying/Dehumidification
Once the excess water has been extracted, the restoration team initiates the drying process. Industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers are strategically placed to eliminate moisture from the air and building materials.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
All affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and belongings, are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to prevent mold growth and remove any contaminants present in the water.
Monitoring/Documentation
Throughout the remediation process, the restoration professionals monitor moisture levels and document the progress using specialized tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras. This helps ensure that the property is thoroughly dried and restored to pre-loss conditions.
Restoration and Repair
Once the property is completely dried and sanitized, the restoration team begins the repair and restoration process. This may involve replacing damaged drywall, flooring, or other building materials to restore the property to its original state.
Final Inspection
After the restoration work is completed, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that all water damage has been properly remediated and that the property is safe for occupancy.
