From eliminating the surface water concerns with extractors to the strategic placement of air movers and dehumidifiers for later drying efforts, each phase must happen as quickly as possible to prevent greater loss for the customer.

Getting Water Removal Services Started

After any water damage incident occurs, one of the focuses of our responding technicians is to implement water removal services as soon as possible. Standing water can be a substantial threat to area homes, namely when aging structures with several porous materials can allow absorption and oversaturation. Once water becomes trapped in these floors or wall systems, moisture can migrate quickly to less accessible areas of the property. Water removal often hinges on several tools used in succession, beginning with submersible pumps and completing with wet vacuums and their attachments.

What Materials Require Controlled Demolition or Repairs? 

Because we have a general contractor license, we can oversee actions like controlled demolition that can be highly beneficial in water damage restoration for area properties. Often, naturally porous materials such as drywall or carpeting can become over-saturated and require removal or replacement. After situations like burst pipes, our technicians often need to replace portions of the plumbing network and nearby exposed materials such as framing and insulation.
