Understanding Water Damage
Water damage can range from minor to extensive, and it can result from various sources such as leaks, storms, or plumbing failures. Water can warp, weaken, or destroy critical parts of your home and belongings. Restoration is essential to address issues from leaks, floods, or other water-related events.
Common Causes of Water Damage
One of the most difficult things about water damage is that it can come from a variety of places. Storms and natural disasters, and roof leaks are some of the common causes of damage. However, water can also come from a leak in your pipes or a malfunctioning appliance like an overflowing toilet or dishwasher. Sometimes a pipe or water heater will burst with no warning, or none that you noticed, quickly resulting in a flood. In other cases, the leak is slower, and damage builds up over time. Even poor ventilation and high humidity can cause water damage.
The cause of your water damage may affect the drying and remediation processes. For example, if there’s a chance the water is mixed with raw sewage, extra precautions will need to be taken. When your home floods as a result of a storm, it’s possible that snakes or other potentially dangerous animals could be hiding in the water in your home. It’s much safer for you to stay out of the house while experts with the proper skills and safety equipment inspect the damage.
A Look at the Water Damage Remediation Process
Before the restoration can begin, we have to remove the water. That’s why we start with a drying plan and make sure that we extract all of the water from your property. There are several tools we may use to dry the moisture, depending on the extent of the existing water in the home. Some of these tools are:
- Pumps and vacuums remove standing water from the home
- Dehumidifiers remove moisture and eliminate humidity
- Heat Technology removes water from your home’s wood features
- Air Circulation improves ventilation to release airflow to aid in drying
- Home Air Scrubbers filter out and remove dust, debris, and contaminants that are left in the home
In some cases, further services may be needed to remove the water. We can also provide:
Demolition for extreme cases. If demolition is needed for the parts of the home with the worst damage, those areas can be rebuilt to their original condition following the demolition.
Complete restoration may be required for extensive damage. We can restore your home to the condition it was in before the fire.

FAQ:
Can I stay in the house after water damage?
It depends on the extent of the damage. If there is standing water, it could be contaminated or pose electrical risks. It’s crucial to have the water removed and the area dried before considering re-entry.
Can I go back inside the house before it’s inspected?
After a serious water event, it’s better to stay out of the house until a professional has inspected it. Water damage can cause structural damage to the home, making it unsafe. If the water level has risen to where the electrical outlets are located, there could be a risk of an electrical fire. Standing water could also contain sewage or wildlife. Wait until an expert has told you that it’s safe to go back inside the home.
Should I begin working on pulling out damaged items before the inspection?
Absolutely not! We suggest leaving everything as is until you have a thorough inspection performed by a water damage restoration specialist. This protects you from potential harm that may be caused from contaminated areas and it helps to ensure that you have the right help in documenting everything for your insurance claim!
Why can’t I clean out and clean up the damage myself?
Water Damage Restoration projects are not for the DIY’er because many steps need to be taken in order to ensure moisture is completely gone.
