Water Damage Restoration and Mitigation

What is Water Damage Restoration?

Water damage restoration refers to the process of restoring a property to its pre-damaged condition after a water-related incident, such as a flood, burst pipe, or sewage backup.

How do you fix old water damage?

Depending on the severity of the damage, several steps may be taken to fix old water damage:

  • Assessment and Mitigation: Assess the extent of the damage and implement measures to prevent further damage, such as stopping water flow, removing affected materials, and controlling humidity.
  • Extraction and Drying: Remove standing water using pumps or extractors and accelerate the drying process using dehumidifiers and fans.
  • Disinfection and Sanitization: Prevent the growth of mold and bacteria by thoroughly disinfecting and sanitizing the affected areas.
  • Structural Repairs: Repair any structural damage caused by water, such as weakened walls, damaged flooring, or electrical issues.
  • Restoration: Restore the affected areas to their original condition, including repainting, refinishing, and replacing damaged materials.
