What Happens During Water Restoration

Water damage is one of the most destructive forms of damage that can happen to your property. It can be caused by something as simple as a leaking pipe to an event as severe as a rainstorm, or a mishap. It’s important to deal with water damage right away, to prevent more costly and extensive repairs and restoration later on. Mammoth Restoration, a trusted local restoration company, explains what happens during our water restoration process below:

Water Restoration Process:

1. Assessment of damage

The first step is to assess the property and determine the extent of the damage. As part of our restoration services in Flagstaff, AZ, we will classify and categorize the water damage and plan for repairs and renovations. Our technicians will use various tools such as moisture detectors to determine the work needed to be carried out.

2. Water extraction

If there was a flood, water would have penetrated anything porous, such as your walls and carpets. The next step to water damage restoration is to extract the water that has seeped through these porous surfaces. Our team will use vacuum cleaners, pumps, and other equipment depending on the extent of the damage.

3. Drying the affected area

Once all the water has been removed, it’s time to dry and dehumidify the areas affected by water damage. Our team will use advanced dehumidification equipment to remove most of the moisture. Drying may take several days or weeks, so it would be best to relocate until the restoration is complete.

4. Disinfection

Water damage from black or gray water needs special attention since this water is dirty and contaminated. We will be sanitizing and cleaning your property thoroughly to prevent mold and bacteria growth. All carpeting, clothing, and drapery will be treated with antimicrobial agents.

5. Conducting repairs

Finally, we will repair and replace any damaged area of your home. This may include replacing parts of the wall and floor, as well as repairing parts of the ceiling that have been damaged by water.
