What Should You Do After Water Damage?
Essential steps to protect your home before damage spreads
The most important step is to act fast. Water can start damaging drywall, flooring, and furniture within minutes, and mold growth often begins within 24–48 hours.
Here’s what to do immediately:
- Turn off the water source if possible.
- Avoid electrical hazards—don’t step into standing water near outlets.
- Call a professional restoration company to start extraction and drying right away.
Our team arrives quickly, assesses the situation, and starts mitigation before damage spreads further.
How Our Water Damage Restoration Process Works
A proven, step-by-step approach to remove water and restore your property
Step 1 – Inspection & Damage Assessment
We identify the source of water intrusion and determine whether the damage involves clean, gray, or black water. This helps shape the restoration plan.
Step 2 – Water Extraction
Using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water to stop further absorption into walls and flooring.
Step 3 – Drying & Dehumidification
High-speed air movers and commercial dehumidifiers draw moisture out of building materials. We monitor humidity daily to ensure complete drying.
Step 4 – Cleaning & Sanitization
Surfaces are cleaned, treated with antimicrobial solutions, and deodorized to prevent bacteria or mold growth.
Step 5 – Repairs & Reconstruction
We repair or replace damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, or cabinetry, restoring your home to its original condition—or better.
