Water damage is one of the most common repairs home owners invest in – and can be one of the most expensive. But what exactly goes into a water damage repair? Below are some of the steps that a professional water damage restoration company may take to repair a home.

First, before any work can be done, the inspector will survey and evaluate safety and the structural integrity of the damaged area, including looking for damage to gas and power lines and the toxicity level of any standing water. After the survey, the inspector will install barriers that will encompass the entire damaged region.

Then, the source of the water intrusion will be located and repaired.

The third step will involve clearing out the damaged area (i.e. debris, furniture) to allow access to repair equipment and to prevent further damage.

Next, all of the standing water will be extracted and removed with pumps and vacuums.

Following the water extraction, the drying process will begin. The moisture will be dried with commercial blowers and dehumidifiers. During the extraction and drying stage all decontamination and sanitization will take place.

Finally, once the area is clean and dry, all structural repairs and replacements will be made.

Immediate and complete remediation of water damage can reduce the total cost of the repair, and prevent future costs resulting from mold growth.
